Launch: Spring 2026

Can a 1970s diet make us healthier?

This new, immersive format seeks to find out, as presenter Josie Gibson follows a bespoke regime reflecting what the average person ate back then. Alongside Josie, ordinary households around the UK will get their own taste of ‘70s food and lifestyle culture, sampling classic dishes and testing the era’s favourite exercise fads. We’ll discover if taking your diet back in time really does make a difference.
