About this season
Hugh is bringing his message to the masses. Each week Hugh invites a different group of urban dwelling, fast food loving non-cooks to spend a week at his River Cottage HQ. It's a clash of food cultures, as they come to the farm, meet the livestock, grow and forage, and even kill for a meal they can truly call their own.

1. Fast Food Chicken Addicts
Aired 2 November 2006
Hugh entertains a group of fast food addicted city folk. With busy lifestyles and no desire to cook, the only solution seems to be buying something from the chinese, kebab or curry houses, which is definitely not the River Cottage philosophy. First up, it’s a group of finger-lickin’ chicken-lovers who are living off takeaways and cheap chicken portions from the supermarket. Hugh’s not afraid to use shock tactics in his mission to change their ways.
