Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville reveal how some restaurants are flouting laws designed to keep people - and the environment - safe, including how some establishments are using fake hygiene ratings to trick customers through the door. And with many restaurants contributing to the problem of giant fatbergs clogging up the country's sewers, how everyone do their bit to stop this growing menace from occurring? Plus should a restaurant advertise itself as having disabled access if there is no accessible loo? A family reveals how, at a well-known chain, the lack of facilities meant they had no choice but to carry their disabled seven-year-old up the stairs to use the toilet.

S5E10 - Episode 10

Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville look into convenience foods and deliveries. After the meteoric growth of online takeaway services, some of the most popular are put to the test. The team also explores the so-called 'dark kitchens' appearing in neighbourhoods across the country, after a group of neighbours says they are paying a high price for such innovations - and for other peoples' convenience. There is also a look at whether a time-saving new idea to put a freshly cooked dinner on the table every night is worth the cost, and the Women's Institute compare various ways of serving up mash potato.
