Further Back in Time for Dinner S01E01 - 1900s

As they enter the 1900s they discover an unrecognisable world of strict etiquette, corsets and conformity. But the biggest surprise is a new addition to the household: Debbie Raw, a part-time chef in the 21st century, is going back in time to be the family's maid of all work, responsible for all the cooking and cleaning.

At the perfectly laid dining table, the Robshaws discover a decade of excess, ending up feeling as stuffed as the décor of their 1900s house. Their first meal is a mere five courses with a meaty pudding - but that's a simple amuse bouche to what follows. Servant Debbie must produce an eight-course dinner party in a Victorian kitchen with not so much as a hand blender to help her, while the Robshaw ladies struggle with the formality of hosting formal afternoon tea and the family try out the Edwardian answer to a fondue set - brains and scrambled eggs anyone?

Along the way there's haute cuisine with Monica Galetti, a meaty Olympic breakfast and a Music Hall tea and singalong with surprise guests Chas and Dave
