Title: Spice Britain
Description: Stand-up comedian Shappi Khorsandi looks at the way in which
food from Muslim countries has helped revolutionise the
British palate. Along the way, she discovers that the
British love of herbs and spices can be traced back nearly
1,000 years. She also learns how the owner of the first
British curry house in the 19th century went bankrupt and
how, when Shappi’s own family came over from Iran in the
1970s, her mother brought over spices and other cooking
ingredients to cope with the food Britain had to offer.
Shappi traces how British taste buds have now become amongst
the most sophisticated in the world thanks to the steady
arrival of foods from all over the Muslim world - from the
subcontinent, through Iran and the Middle East to north
Africa - and she discovers the surprising effect those foods
have had on British identity

can they prove that show business and financial business
really do mix? Elsewhere, one entrepreneur uses his pitch to
tell the Dragons a story about growing up in South Africa,
