The Supersizers Go Victorian 1

[oddbarrows]

Something I have tried to keep in mind is they are trying to act somewhat like period people, with their pomp and obliviousness to the outside world.

[taniariasmith]

"we gave India education and engineering" ???? God I hope you're joking!!!!! Pompous idiot!!!

[PhsycedelicPhish]

@taniariasmith But they did... India was part of the British Empire. :L

[taniariasmith]

@PhsycedelicPhish yes I know. No indian lives without that knowledge. My point is that we were educated and we did have engineering. Maybe not the way the westerners were used to but that doesn't mean that we were lacking it.

[BrOkEnCyDebitchh]

this show NEEDS to come to america.

[AllThePaige]

@BrOkEnCyDebitchh Could you imagine? Revolution, Civil War, Puritan, Pilgrim.

[BrOkEnCyDebitchh]

@AllThePaige lol

[siren888]

Can believe they eat all that stuff for breakfast, that's just a coronary waiting to happen.

[fiddleandcatz]

@siren888 they tend to go OTT on this show, the normal person would have perhaps had one or two of the things there.

[theclownmachinery]

@fiddleandcatz they are having the meals of the really up up upper class. I can imagine, they ate that way, but ordinary people still had meat once a week. (not counting spam)

[TheRealthugz]

@theclownmachinery WELL ASIAN'S HAVE IT 5 TO 6 DAYS A WEEK, AS ASIAN DISHES USE MEAT A LOT

[chrissiepenguinful]

@TheRealthugz This is really untrue. It's just the Western versions of Asian foods that use a lot of meat. In places like India people eat mostly vegetables and in the Far East much more fish is eaten than actual meat.

[1337Yazman]

@chrissiepenguinful Fish IS actual meat.

[chrissiepenguinful]

@1337Yazman Not really. Certainly not as far as piscatarians are concerned.

[1337Yazman]

@chrissiepenguinful How the hell can you consider fish to not be flesh?

[51m0n77]

Does fussy eater mean the usual crap that pommies eat? Baked beans, corned beef etc?

[itsageoffrushthing]

@51m0n77 Do you mean you seriously don't know the meaning of the word 'fussy'?????

[51m0n77]

@itsageoffrushthing nothing irritates me more than fussy eaters. For example, ppl that wont even try different foods, even though it's fantastic. Ppl that wont eat certain coloured foods, like anything green, orange or red etc. Vegans shit me to tears.

[mzbluesky92]

@51m0n77 It means when she is not working she is a vegetarian, (in this series she does eat meat)

[Annieob1978]

I want to do this show with them lmao would be great fun I love food

[teufelstaub]

Giles is simply smashing in ANY getup!

[deathbymusikk]

i loved this show!!!

[estesoyojajaja]

2 people were killed by Jack the ripper.

[tommyrambo96]

thumbs up if u want a third series :)

[martiniisgood]

Haha. Giles effortly becomes Mr Darcy or Shakespeare or any other historical dandy and clearly revels in it, and then there's Sue forever looking as uncomfortable as a cat stuffed into a funny suit. It's a good combination.

[ncisabbs]

Sue is hot in the red dress

[amelitaz]

@ncisabbs perv

[salemgirl123]

this episode helped me pass my history exam i had to write on food

[thrivesurvive]

These people are disgusting. Everything about their behavior is sickening. Don't even get me started on the whole corset fiasco.

[deathbymusikk]

@thrivesurvive fuck off.

[thrivesurvive]

@deathbymusikk seriously? why the hostility?

[salemgirl123]

@henrycaville elizabethen episodes their stil around you can find them

[salemgirl123]

[Arpeggiato]

What a gorgeous house.

[salemgirl123]

[frosty956]

that breakfast looks goooood. It makes me hungry.

[SurgeCess]

I love this =)

[avalon2468]

question whats with the paper crowns? i notice it alot in british movies around x-mas can anyone tell me?

[pjwsnooty]

@avalon2468 The paper crowns are contained in Christmas crackers, or bon-bons, along with rudimentary novelties and excruciatingly awful jokes on small strips of paper. At a chosen point during the Christmas dinner one pulls a cracker with partners sitting all around the table. When pulled they yield a small "crack", at which point everyone goes "Ooh!" or "Aaah!" or "Wheeee!" Everyone reads out the terrible jokes and looks for the plastic novelties, many of which are now in the food...

[avalon2468]

@pjwsnooty thank you are they intended to be terrible jokes or is that a personal observation?

[silverbiscuit]

@avalon2468 It's traditional that the jokes be the sort that make you groan or sigh wearily. On no account should anyone laugh, unless it is at the very terribleness of the joke.

[180degreehealth]

Heart-attack inducing meal eh? Funny, the first documented heart attack was in 1921 in the U.S. I would imagine a similar date was seen in Britain as well.

[helloiamaloser]

@180degreehealth It's called comedy. In case you hadn't noticed, they're not always bothered about being historically accurate. For example, in the Regency episode Giles drives an MG! It wouldn't have been difficult to get a real phaeton considering the amount of regency era period dramas the beeb puts on. And considering the diet from the 16th and 17th century, I would think its incredibly unlikely that out of the millenia that the human race has existed, the first ever heart attack was in 1921

[inikkie17]

@helloiamaloser if i may say....touche! good comeback :D

[Rowan07001484]

@180degreehealth

No way.... people had attacks long before then.

[MikeTyson1978]

I only caught a bit on TV and really enjoyed it. Thanks for uploading this mate.

[Ricogear27]

I thoroughly enjoy this series, and I like both Coren and Perkins. They are perfectly chosen for this role and are a joy to watch. However I have to say, for a self professed incorrigible gourmet and professional food critic, Giles has appalling table manners lol. One would imagine that in his line of work, he would learn how to at least hold a knife and fork correctly and chew with your mouth closed :) Thanks so much for uploading these.

[xHelenPx]

@Ricogear27 He's a boarding school boy.. they all have terrible table manners!

[Phonexwing]

Could you post the Elizabethan or Roman episodes?

[Supersizers]

All Un-uploaded episodes will be one my channel sometime in the next few weeks, 'Edwardian Supersize Me', the one off show that led to the series being made is already up

And to those asking, the frog pie is from the Elizabethan ep

[bimb89ers]

im lookinf or the french revolution episode...

[silvanasmarty]

I love Giles I think hes sexy!

[CarlaLR74]

Just started watching this show and I am enjoying it.

[Modiste1979]

Actually, Mrs. Beeton died in childbirth, not of syphilis.

[KittyloverAmethyst]

AH i remember watching this on bbc2 on thursday night it was great but that stuff they gunna eat look scary!

[maltesercat]

@henrycaville it's the tudor episode, but unfortunately it's been removed from youtube by the BBC :(

[salemgirl123]

@maltesercat its the elizabethen episodes its still on youtube

[SwarovskiGal]

thanks so much for posting these, i missed a couple when they first came out

[fatamoeba]

"which gelatinous mass of processed nastiness do you want?" :D

[metalqueen2000]

Offal? Has she even read the cookbooks of that time? I have read about 20 and have never found a recipe with offal in it.

[dexterdamonkey]

she probably got a limited edition one, or one from a museum that barely anyone can borrow without a certificate or something? possible.

[stupidintellect90]

thanks for uploading!!! :)

[bansalnimraj]

Mrs Beeton died of Puerpueral fever - complications arising from childbirth, NOT syphilis you silly woman Sue.

[thatsgorg]

I think that is the researches fault and not down to Sue

x

[feefee198423]

[orientalnegro]

[feefee198423]

[Spiritual36]

Thanks for uploading...fantastic

[YouMeAndThePuppets]

Spam - "it tastes slightly of shoes"

I think that could catch on, a new advertising slogan perhaps?

[aModernDandy]

[Leningoestoboden]

Thanks for uploading mate, great for us expats w/o iplayer!

[MonsieurMcGregor]

[Rowan07001484]

Thanks, Can't wait for the next one tonight.... But I can't imagine what was so different about what they ate in the eighties. A lot of frozen food I can imagine
