Episode synopsis
It’s back to school after autumn half-term holidays and the dinner ladies in Greenwich are now trying to cook school dinners Jamie Oliver-style. Oliver meets with the government to lobby them to support his "Feed Me Better" campaign and to ban junk food in schools. If he gets it right, he plans to devise a blueprint for school lunches that will empower schools and local authorities across the UK to change their school meals forever. Will the government listen or will Oliver have to go it alone?
About Jamie's School Dinners
Jamie's School Dinners is a four-episode documentary series broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom from 23 February to 16 March 2005. The series was recorded between Spring to Winter 2004, in which it featured TV chef Jamie Oliver attempting to improve the quality and nutritional value of school dinners at a typical British school, Kidbrooke School in the Royal Borough of Greenwich — a goal which ultimately led to a broader campaign to improve school dinners throughout Britain.
