Burgers
Jo Brand tells the nostalgic story of burgers, hearing from the heavyweights behind some of the biggest brands and lifting the lid of an industry worth billions.

Sweets
Jo Brand unwraps the nostalgic story of the world of sweets and lifts the lid on the biggest rivalries and innovations that have driven the sweet world. Jo unpacks the historic rivalry between Rowntree's and Bassett's before the cosy British sweet market gave way to a bitter battle after the arrival of Mars and Haribo, and key players from some of the industry's biggest brands reveal just how fierce the battle is to keep life sweet.
Sandwiches
Jo Brand unwraps the nostalgic story of sandwiches and how this iconic snack evolved from a curly 1970s joke to today's modern, pre-packaged sandwiches. The brains behind the industry's biggest names reveal how the Marks & Spencer sandwich spawned a market fuelled by competition, with Pret a Manger revolutionising the look and feel of sandwich shops and the rivalry of mass-market mega chains Greggs and Subway, ensuring that the sandwich dominates our high streets.
Cereal
Jo Brand tears open the nostalgic story behind Britain's most popular breakfast cereals. Three British companies fought it out and shaped this market over decades: Kellogg's, Weetabix and Jordans. Now they battle it out as modern consumers prioritise nutrition, while new, independent rivals with big ideas compete for their own place at the breakfast table.
