I just did a quick search of the UK sites for HMV, Rarewaves, Amazon and eBay. No results for "Supersizers".

That tv show where Giles Coren and Sue Perkins ate historical diets for a week. Supersizers Eat/Go I think.

I tell myself that it's ok as Coren looked fairly miserable through much of it.

Had you ever seen the BBC 2 series
“Supersizers Eat”?

A marvellous show!

I mentioned 1661 is more Austenesque: country landlords visiting each other and bitching (mine just involves more fistfights). King of the Wind (1948) also decided to burst out of the recesses of my childhood brain.

Probably gonna have a scene inspired by The Supersizers Go…Restoration.

If I ever get massive fuck-off amounts of money, I'd get the rights to make US versions of those pseudo-reality shows the BBC does every so often that involves people experiencing how life was in different historical periods. (Supersizers Go, Back in Time, The Historic Farm, etc.) They're so good.

Kind of related: have you seen “Supersizers Go…”? It’s about historic food

The Supersizers Go is what developed my deep appreciation of Sue Perkins and general revulsion by Giles Coren.

"Supersizers go..." was so good, wish it was easier to find the episodes these days (outside of sailing the high seas)

And Americans, for a main dish, you really don't need more than a 4-6 oz portion of meat on the regular. The supersizers have cooked your brains.

I have two degrees that focused on the literature of early 20th century Britain, I have been to every major UK history museum and done a lot of reading, and yet when I’m writing fiction set then, my first instinct is to watch the Supersizers Go episode set in that decade.

@petephilip.bsky.social and @otter4u.bsky.social how about more Supersizers?

Late to this one but: for a guy completely obsessed with The Supersizers Go… (2008-9) I have shockingly little historical food content in this book!

They do eat potatoes which ARE appropriate for 1660.

I gotta put a full-on Horrible Restoration dinner party in book 2, though. 👀
Does food play an important role in your book? What gets made and why is it significant? #WritingPrompt

Sue also managed to shoot all eps of Supersizers go... without killing Giles Coren, so....

I love Sue Perkins. She’s was immediately one of my favorites from The Supersizers series, and of course, QI. I have to start watching this show.

Also it would give us a version of Supersizers that doesn't have Giles "cum shots on her chest like Zorro" Coren chewing with his mouth open and doesn't lean on the historical myth that alcohol was the only thing we had to drink before pasteurization was discovered.
