About Dave The Hairy Biker Brings a Fridge: The Robshaws’ 1960s Food Revolution

A surprise delivery flips the Robshaws’ kitchen on its head. When Dave the Hairy Biker brings their first fridge, everything changes — from what they cook to how they live. Step into Britain’s space-age 60s as the family tastes Cocoa Pops-fueled pester power, soft Chorleywood bread, and fine dining at Newport Pagnell services. Watch Rochelle test gelatin-set “show food,” Brandon channel Harry Palmer for a dinner à deux, and supermarkets rewrite the weekly shop. Then comes the real culture shock: spaghetti bolognese via Soho delis, cheap chicken scaled up by supermarkets, and Vesta curry and chow mein racing the clock during the 1966 World Cup final. Catherine Whitehorn’s bedsit hacks meet Fanny Cradock’s TV flair, while a Eurovision party to Lulu’s Boom Bang a Bang caps a decade of foreign flavors — and a widening generation gap. Discover how one fridge, a loaf, and a few packets helped transform British food and family life. Watch the full episode to see what sticks, what flops, and what changes them for good.

Undercover With Hamas: Al-Aqsa Prophecy and the 2014 Gaza War

An undercover team hears Hamas leaders describe an apocalyptic war they believe will begin at Al-Aqsa. What they say off camera, and what unfolded on the ground, is far more revealing than official statements. From claims about Jesus returning to Jerusalem to a hadith invoking Lod, this investigation connects theology to tactics: over 4,000 rockets launched from dense neighborhoods, tunnel warfare under Gaza, and civilians trapped between evacuation warnings and militant orders. Journalists describe intimidation in Gaza, from a threatened AP bureau to expulsions and delayed reporting of misfires that killed children. Inside the Palestinian split, we hear about executions without trial and why 80% of local reporters self-censor. The story widens to ISIS in Sinai, Egyptian tunnel crackdowns, and a frontline where Assyrian Christians in Al-Qosh refuse to leave. This is a rare look at ideology, propaganda, and pressure on the press that you won’t get from podiums. Watch to see how beliefs shape battlefields, and why so many witnesses waited to speak until they were safely out.
