Company

Offbeat quarter-hour show in the Late Night Opening strand, providing cookery hints and tips as presented by an ancient Roman. Real-life television cook Keith Floyd played the gourmet Apicius and Alan Francis his faithful scribe Felix, a Greek amongst Romans who was none too keen on the idea of skewered dormouse as a snack.
