Title:
Copacabana Palace
Description: As
Brazil prepares to host the World Cup, Copacabana Palace
follows the lives of the staff and guests at one of Latin
America's
most iconic hotels. Brazil now boasts more
billionaires than Britain, and the Copacabana Palace is a
magnet for Brazil's new wealthy elite. In its 90-year
history the hotel has played host to everyone from Orson
Welles to Justin Bieber and the king of Sweden. Today
manager Andrea Natal heads a staff of 600, who cater for the
rich
and famous guests' every whim. But luxury doesn't come
cheap;
the starting price for a night at the Copacabana
Palace is £400 and the price for their VIP suites isn't
even
made public. But in a country where one in five people
still live below the poverty line, the reality for many of
the
hotel's staff is very different. This documentary for
This
World reveals how the hotel's story reflects the
fortunes of the entire nation, and how Brazil is
increasingly
a country of extraordinary extremes.

Heston's Great British Food
Description:
Heston Blumenthal explores the best of modern British food.
Heston seeks inspiration for a feast of British chocolate,
aiming to bring all of the nation's rich history of
chocolate making together in one supersized chocolate bar.
With help from leading chocolate makers
(including Cadbury,
Nestle and Paul A Young), Heston crafts a homage to mint
Aero, Mini Eggs, Flake, Milky Way, Twix and Caramel as part
of
the first ever Great Bar of Britain, which is unveiled at
a
feast served from a giant chocolate box called Heston
Magic. Heston looks back at the earliest chocolate bar,
Fry's Victorian Oxchocolate (chocolate and beef extract)
bar, and makes a 'Moos bar', which
is a combination of beef
nougat, shortbread biscuit and beef and Guinness caramel. He
makes a Black Forest gateau hot chocolate and a chilli gin
and
chocolate water cocktail. He also makes a unique range
of
chocolates in a beautiful edible box

Title:
Thalidomide - The Fifty Year Fight
Description:
Documentary telling the story of a father's battle for
justice against one of the UK's largest corporations. In the
1960s, the Thalidomide scandal shocked the world and
devastated families. The fight for compensation saw the
government and drug-company silence the press, forcing
campaigners to use covert and sometimes illegal ways of
keeping their battle in the public eye. Victims, their
families and those intimately involved in the campaign talk
about their ten year battle through the courts and how
society has treated them

Title: Food
Programme
Episode: Ken
Hom
Description: For
this special edition of The Food Programme from the Food
Connections festival in Bristol, Sheila Dillon talks to Ken
Hom about
his extraordinary life through food.
It's
hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years ago when
Ken
Hom first appeared on BBC television with his series
that
arguably revolutionised British cooking.
Back
in 1984, many people in the UK had hardly tasted
Chinese food (let alone tried to cook it for themselves)
when
they tuned into BBC TV to watch the youthful presenter
of Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery. Since
then, Ken has continued
to
spread the word both here and abroad through television,
books and teaching. It's said that seven million of his woks
have
been sold internationally.
Sheila and Ken recall the key moments and mentors in his
life; since he began to learn to cook as an 11 year old
working at his uncle's Chicago restaurant, to his position
now
where he is regarded as one of the world's most renowned
chefs and ambassadors for Chinese cuisine.
