Alistair McGowan
Chef Brian Turner takes celebrities back to their youth, using the power of food to jog colourful memories. Alistair McGowan revisits his Worcestershire childhood.
As a child, Alistair McGowan loved school lunches, especially the puddings. His mother's cooking was equally memorable and innovative, providing plenty of inspiration for the dishes that Brian Turner creates for Alistair. Together they revisit evocative places from Alistair's childhood, from Worcestershire's plum orchards to his old school, where sights and smells take him straight back to his youth. In his childhood home, we discover how Alistair realised his gift for impersonation as he switches effortlessly into some of the voices that helped him make his name.
