We're making drumstick lollipops by the million at the Swizzles sweet factory... churning out proper ice cream at the Mackie's Family Farm... and making orange cordial destined for centre court, at the Robinson's squash factory. Narrated by Siobhan Finneran. 

In this episode, we're celebrating some British classics. We're making traditional Lancashire Eccles Cakes, using a recipe passed from father to son... making jam fit for the Queen's breakfast table at Tiptree... and producing gin infused with exotic botanicals at Bombay Sapphire's high-tech distillery. 

This week, we celebrating some British classics - making Stilton Cheese at a family firm that's been churning it out for three generations; learning the secrets of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, and getting our caffeine fix by roasting coffee at Taylors of Harrogate.
