Tony Francis introduces the programme from Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire. The first item is about the lack of Indian, or more correctly Bangladeshi restaurants in the Cotswolds town. It is thought that Chipping Campden is the only town in England without an Indian restaurant. Tony talks to Ana Choudhury who is a restaurateur with seven outlets across the south Midlands. He talks about the spread from cities into more rural areas. Zalal Khan of the Bangladesh Caterers Association talks about the rise of the industry. Views of Chipping Campden. Interview with the town clerk Roger Parsons who describes the town as traditionally English and a bit snobbish. Vox pops about the lack of Indian food and comments from local delicatessen owner Mary Organ who is against and Liz Fox from the tourist office. Ian Benfield talks about the association with lager lout culture. Tony visits the grand reopening of an Indian restaurant at Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire which is part of Ana Choudhury's chain.
For the next item Felicity Finch meets Buz and Sam Collins who travel the waterways of Britain on their canal boat playing folk music gigs. We see them travelling along the Trent and Mersey canal as they talk about their canal lifestyle and Buz plays music on his guitar. The pass Swarkestone Folly in Derbyshire and stop near Weston on Trent where Felicity goes off to investigate the Ukrainian camp which is nearby. The camp is deserted but she meets Anton Iwanyk who appears to be the sole permanent resident. The journey ends at Shardlow where Buz and Sam perform outside the Navigation pub.
Wendy Nelson then visits Ledbury railway station in Herefordshire which unusually is run as a franchise. She talks to John Goldrick who has reintroduced concepts of personal service to the railway. He is seen in his ticket office and chatting to passengers. There are shots of trains arriving and departing from Ledbury and vox pops with passengers about the excellent service. John even goes as far as driving tickets out to customers in his vintage van. He is seen dropping in to Eastnor Forge to meet the local blacksmith who is making him a station sign.
The programme is wrapped up with a return visit to Chipping Campden where Ana Choudhury has been given special permission to set up an outdoor stall offering curry and naan breads to passers-by. Further vox pops with local people about curry in Chipping Campden and comments from the local antiques dealer Frank Kennedy.
