A Taste of My Life - Series 1 - 30/03/2007

Nigel Slater hosts a chat show which explores the lives and loves of celebrities through their personal experiences of food. Brenda Blethyn talks with fondness about growing up as one of nine children in a time of rationing, and she affectionately remembers a chaotic and happy household. Timothy Spall reminisces over their friendship with some rather revealing parlour games and challenges her to make a steak and kidney pie, plus actor Robert Daws makes a classic knickerbocker glory. Over her final feast she reflects on how she could have been the original footballer's wife – if one of her first loves hadn’t emigrated to Australia.
