The 17th issue of Pit turns its attention to the TV. Think cosy TV dinners and the fuzzy nostalgia of favourite childhood shows, mixed with a strange taste of showbiz artifice and a nagging sense of anxiety at the isolation of a life spent glued to the screen. You’ve never seen TV and food quite like this before.

 
In this issue:

• How Keith Floyd’s boozy charisma helps one writer to cut through his mother’s dementia and reconnect with her
• A photographic tribute to the surreal potential of fast food
• The QVC food stylist who learned the hard way that he didn’t have to eat all the leftovers
• The Scottish artist whose studio specialises in creating fake food
• And recipes for TV snacking, including butter udon, bloody mary nuggets, and the ultimate fried egg sandwich
