Voice Over Script

Here is our voice over that as a group we all took part in with coming up with it. Voice over will be heard through out different parts of the documentary.

Opening sequence

45% of people in the UK like the taste of fast food too much to give it up. Most families spend £3.40 on fresh vegetables per head a week, but they spend up to £4.20 on takeaway. In the UK, over 277 million portions of chips are sold per year and 15% of the UK’s population visits a fish and chip shops on a weekly basis. It certainly looks like the takeaway is here to stay.

Voxpops

Interview with Asda

Archive material of Gavin & Stacey

Takeaway is one of the largest growing types of convenience foods, with families on average consuming at least one takeaway per week. Most people have 7 different types of takeaway within walking distance of their homes but Indian and Chinese style takeaways the most popular.

Interview with the big cod

Interview with mark

The majority of Chinese chip shops also sell fish and chips as one of their main products but are still many takeaway shops which believe in only selling the traditional English meal of fish and chips, these types of shops disagree with the fact that Chinese takeaways are also selling fish and chips because they feel they are less capable of making the British dish at a good quality. Supermarkets sell Takeaway Bags which include a side dish and a main meal in Indian and Chinese styles.

Secondary Research

·         We will collect takeaway food menu’s and food boxes to use as cutaways

·         We will save and wash any fast food boxes that we will use

·         We will look out for any newspaper cuttings or articles on takeaway food

Below are some links to some videos that we could use as archive footage for our documentary:

Facts and Figures

·         in fact a recent survey of 9000 people across 13 different countries carried out by BBC World in early 2008 found that 45% of people in the UK were more likely to agree that they liked the taste of fast food too much to give it up. The US weren’t far behind with 44 per cent agreeing with the statementhttp://www.fastfoodnation.co.uk/fast-food-facts-figures.html

·         People in the UK are Europe's biggest fast food consumers, and the trend is that burger chains are at the top of the list of desirable fast food outlets. The two major burger chains account for most of the spend, and spending per head in 2008 is on target to beat that of 2007 according to research. In 2007 figures showed that UK consumers spent £82 per head just in fast food restaurants and burger chains – that doesn’t even take into account other types of fast food order such as Chinese, Indian or Pizza. McDonald's opened its first restaurant here in 1974, and now more than 2.5 million people in the UK are said to visit McDonald's every day.http://www.fastfoodnation.co.uk/fast-food-facts-figures.html

·         Surprisingly (or maybe not) although the most popular restaurants for fast food seem to be burger bars, according to figures from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, our favourite choice for a fast food meal is fish and chips.http://www.fastfoodnation.co.uk/fast-food-facts-figures.html

·         Families put an average of £3.40 towards fresh vegetables a week, but pay £3.80 for takeaways at home, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported.

·         Householders use only one fifth of their weekly food bill for fresh fruit and vegetables, which together account for only £6.20 out of a total of £45.

The survey also shows that London families appear to be the healthiest eaters across the country, spending the most on fresh produce - £7.50 - while people in the North-east shell out just £4.10.
