Nicholas Parsons

S1 E3: Against an evocative backdrop of the London skyline, veteran broadcaster and entertainer Nicholas Parsons delves deep into the memory banks of his long life. Stories of school, studying engineering, and finally breaking through into acting emerge, among more poignant memories of the blitz which he could see going on from the relative safety of Hampstead Heath. TV chef Brian Turner works his magic in an outdoor kitchen, creating nostalgic dishes designed to transport Nicholas back to his mother’s cooking, and reflect the kind of food he likes now.
