A one hour documentary for BBC4 in which cookery writer Nigel Slater tells both his and the UK's life story through the lens of sweets and confectionery. We all remember the sweets of our childhoods but why have certain tastes, flavours, colours and brands stood the test of the time and what about those other more bizarre flavours? Nigel meets with sweet historians, finds out if we are programmed to have a sweet tooth, charts the origins of Cadburys and indulges in Caramac ("the crack cocaine of the sweet world") with Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson. Critically loved and named as one of the top ten food programmes of all time by The Observer this film drew BBC4 one of its largest ever audiences.
