"Coast": Ray finds out just what Britain's
coast had to offer our ancestors, as he continues to explore the wild food that
tickled the taste buds of Stone Age man. The coastline of Stone Age Britain
was rather different than it is today, as Britain was yet to become an island.

"Wetlands": Ray and Professor
Gordon Hillman, an expert in the use of plants through the ages, look at
the marshes and waterways which our ancestors used for travelling and as an
abundant source of food. Along the way, Ray explains how to take the sting out
of nettles and how to use water lily seeds as a source of carbohydrate. He then
travels to the spectacular Ardeche Gorge in France where he gains special
permission to take to his canoe and demonstrate spear fishing.

"Summer Harvest": Summer Harvest shows
that our ancestors would have had access to a wide variety of plant foods, but
meat would have been the staple in their diet. Ray shows viewers how they would
have cooked a deer in a huge pit and then demonstrates how they would have
preserved the meat by smoking it.

"Woodland": For our ancestors, Autumn would have
been the last chance to gather food before winter stole much of it away. Nuts
are an obvious source of stored energy. Ray travels to the island of Colonsay
in Scotland to investigate the remains of thousands of charred hazelnuts which
date back to the Stone Age.
