               operation. This episode reveals the world behind the
               'millionaires door' at Heathrow Terminal 5, a luxury lounge,

               nation's most stubborn complainers. The programme meets one
               of the nation's most persistent long-term complainers, who
               confronts his council with a camera strapped to his body,
               and whose unresolved dispute with Kirklees council has been
               ongoing since 1988. In Croydon, self-service has replaced
               face-to-face meetings, and one man complains several times a

Title:         Food Programme
Episode:       Knives
Description:   Sheila Dillon takes a look at that most coveted of kitchen
               tools; the knife.
               One of the most primal yet treasured implements, any chef
               worth their salt knows that you don't mess with another
               chef's knife. Sheila talks to chef Henry Harris from
               Racine's restaurant about his passion for knives. There's
               also a report from a knife shop in Toronto where the prices
               reach into the the thousands. With knife skills courses
               popping up all over the country, this programme is a
               celebration of the craftsmanship and artistry of knife
               making and of the people with a passion for this ancient
               tradition; from the home cook, the new chef buying his first
               set of knives, to the people who hanker after the rare
               Japanese blade; some blacksmiths are very reluctant to sell
               their wares to people who may have the money but not
               necessarily the appreciation of their trade.
