Norfolk
Giles Coren embarks on a journey across Britain to discover how our landscape, history and climate shape what we grow and where we grow it.

The team also discover how the humble turnip changed the way we farm, and why half of all our sugar comes from a rather grubby Norfolk root.

Lucy Worsley heads to Whitstable in search of shellfish and the team learn about the secret lives of the shepherds, or 'lookers', who watched their flocks on Romney Marsh.
