Two World Famous Things About Batley
A look at the communities in Fox's biscuit factory in Batley, both the past and the present.
Work means different things: it may be a product, a tradition, a wage packet, or a way of life, but one thing of universal interest is the effect of work on people and communities. Seeing how people work, and the impact of work on people's lives, is vital to understanding society. The film features interviews with Khateeb Ahmed, the Process Trainer at Fox's Biscuits, and Ismael Daji, a process worker and member of the Gujarati Writer's Circle. Their stories focus on one aspect of the city that is central to the story of work, and another that, whilst not directly related to work, does tell an important story about the role played by the ethnic community in Batley. One thing is certain, there is an enthusiasm and pride felt by the workforce which allows the viewer to understand why for many people in the Batley area the factory is more than just a place of work.

What We Ate
If 'we are what we eat', then we're definitely not who we used to be...
The British diet has come a long way since the days when lard, suet and condensed milk were the staple of every kitchen, and when 'takeaway' invariably meant a fish supper. We still love our fish & chips - and our Sunday roasts, full English breakfasts, sausage & mash and neeps and tatties. But today our supermarkets stock food and ingredients from six continents, and our comfort food may just as likely be curry, sushi, risotto, chilli con carne or peri peri chicken.
This selection of cookery shows, news reports, adverts and debates gives a taste of how our appetites and our palates were transformed, as well as highlighting some of the food fads and fears that simmered up along the way. So take a seat, browse the menu, and remember: watch what you eat!
