Synopsis

Nigel Slater dreams of a career in cooking, despite his mother's limited culinary skills, which are confined to making toast. After his mother's death, tensions arise between Nigel and his father, particularly when the father remarries a woman who earns his affection with a lemon meringue pie. Nigel enrolls in culinary school, begins working at a pub, and soon finds himself in competition with his stepmother, both in the kitchen and for his father's approval.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
