Johnny Ball revisits childhood haunts in Bristol with chef Brian Turner. Apart from his hunger for maths challenges in the classroom, he remembers the impact of ration-book Britain on the supply of sweets at his local corner shop! But there are fond memories too of the resourcefulness of his parents to give their son a healthy start in life, despite the odds.
