Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty start the new series with the brilliant new Time Lord, Jodie Whittaker, helping them out in the café.

The Doctor Who star begins by helping the pair rustle up a feast of roast pork with oodles of crispy crackling.

They also take her on a trip down memory lane, but rather than Jodie’s more usual time-travelling machine, they use the power of a Thai beef massaman curry, which she’s been dreaming about since she was 18 years old.

Jamie and Jimmy are also campaigning to keep sustainable British brown crab on the menu, and they demonstrate how to convert an oil drum into a BBQ to cook up a feast for the Harlequins ladies rugby team.
