Title:         Nigel Slater's Great British Biscuit
Description:   Documentary in which Nigel Slater takes a journey back in
               time through the biscuit tins of mum and dad, the doilies
               and saucers of aunties and grannies, the lunch boxes of
               friends and siblings. Nigel charts the origins of the humble
               biscuit, from its contribution to Britain's nautical
               dominance of the globe to the biscuit tin becoming that most
               ubiquitous of household items. He explores the history of
               famous brands, uncovers the Georgian and Quaker origins of
               the biscuits we love and eat today, and meets biscuit
               anoraks who have dedicated their lives to a love of these
               simple baked treats and scientists who squash, dunk and
               ignite biscuits for research purposes. Nigel recalls the
               biscuits he found in his lunch box, the ones he cherished
               and the ones that would shape his formative years. He asks
               why the biscuit has become such a dependable culinary
               companion and what makes Britain a nation of ardent biscuit
               eaters like no other in the world, with a £2.3 billion
               industry to match
