Restaurant Wars: The Battle for Manchester
Description:
Behind-the-scenes documentary series following two of
Britain's best chefs, Simon Rogan and Aiden Byrne, as they
both
try to open fine dining restaurants, just a few hundred
yards from each other in Manchester, a city that has always
resisted Michelin-style food.
In
this episode, Simon Rogan, one of the UK's most revered
chefs and famed for his two-Michelin-starred restaurant
L'Enclume, takes over at The French restaurant, housed in
Manchester's historic Midland Hotel. This is Rogan's first
foray
in to a permanent city restaurant, but the news of his
arrival and elaborate ten-course tasting menu is met with
resistance by the staff and customers.
Meanwhile, across the city in a
tiny development kitchen,
Aiden Byrne puts the finishing touches to a menu that he
hopes will put him back in to the arena of fine dining since
winning a Michelin star nearly twenty years ago. First he
must
impress his backer who has spent three million pounds
creating Manchester House, the restaurant that Aiden is set
to
helm.

Business Boomers
Episode: Real
Storage Wars
Description: The
second documentary in the Business Boomers series
discovers why Britain came to have the biggest self-storage
industry in Europe, when just three decades ago the industry
didn't
even exist in this country.
This
is the entertaining tale of canny entrepreneurs who
grew
rich selling empty space, of the garish multicoloured
monster sheds that have sprung up around our towns and
cities and - above all - of our national predilection for
buying stuff and hoarding it. Self-storage has also provided
a
home for a multitude of small business start-ups as firms
abandon
the high street.
Featuring self-storage bosses, compulsive collectors and
observers including Danny Dorling.
