Jimmy and the Giant Supermarket

Series 1 Episode 1
First Broadcast: 9PM Tue 29 May 2012

Jimmy tries to transform Tesco's best-selling own brand meatballs (they sell 35 million of them a year). In doing so, he spots an opportunity to tackle one of dairy farming's biggest secrets - the killing each years of tens of thousands of male dairy calves because there's no market for them.

Jimmy believes these calves should be reared on to produce British rose veal - a high welfare, high quality meat.

Can he persuade dairy farmers to work with him, come up with a recipe to impress Tesco, and convince the public that the stigma surrounding veal is a thing of the past?
