Title: A
Very British Airline
Description:
Looking behind the scenes of British Airways. For 50 years
London to New York has been the most glamorous and
profitable route in BA's long-haul network. This was the
route made famous by Concorde, and even today BA's JFK
terminal caters for more of the rich and famous than
anywhere else. This looks at the heart of BA's New York
operations to discover what it takes to keep the 28 flights
a
day running smoothly on this all important route, even as
the
worst winter on record causes cancellations and delays.
At
the other extreme, BA is opening a new route to the
Chinese city of Chengdu and having to learn fast how to cope
with
the unique challenges of operating in mainland China.
Plus, back at Heathrow, the cabin crew trainees reach the
moment of truth. Will they all make it through the course?

Title: Food
Programme
Episode: Holy
Food
Description: Tim
Hayward looks at the tradition of monastic food
production, with stories from Sicily, New York as well as
from
closer to home.
Ever
since the 6th century rule of St Benedict said that
monastic orders should be self- sufficient, monks and nuns
have
taken to the land and to the kitchens to produce food
and
drink for sale. Tim introduces us to some specific
examples of how that tradition is thriving today. Giorgio
Locatelli and food historian Mary Taylor Simeti explain how
an
array of recipes for sublime biscuits and pastries made
by
Sicilian nuns have survived for centuries, due in no
small way to a woman called Maria Grammatico who went to
live
in a convent where Nuns would live out their final
days. She would collect their recipes and she went on to
become one of the most famous makers of Sicilian pastries.
Giorgio Locatelli lovingly recreates some of those sumptuous
treats in his Locanda restaurant today. We visit the New
Skete Nuns in New York who have featured in the New York
Times and Vanity Fair with their famous cheesecakes. Tim
talks to food historian Annie Gray who reminds him of the
overall impact of the monastic orders on food production but
who
also cautions us not to get too carried away with the
idea
of continuity. We hear from the writer, Madeline
Scherb, who went on her own pilgrimage around the world to
cook
and pray with some monks and nuns; recalling the
chanting of the Hail Mary on a caramel production line. She
explains how St Benedict himself was not able to persuade
his
own monks to abstain completely from alcohol, and so the
tradition of producing liquors of all sorts is one of the
longest surviving strands of monastic production. In the UK,
that
includes the famous Ampleforth abbey ciders and beers.
And
there's Buckfast tonic wine from Devon; a drink that has
attracted controversy in some areas. Join Tim Hayward as he
raises a glass to a tradition of monastic food production
that
appears to be alive and kicking.
