UEL graduate Jimmy Doherty teaches us something new

UEL Alumnus Jimmy Doherty teaches us something new in his TV series Jimmy’s Food Factory, which premieres on BBC1, Thursday 21 October, at 7:30pm.

In the series, Jimmy asks some important questions about food in a mission to unravel the scientific secrets behind mass food production. 

Since, graduating from UEL in Animal Biology, Jimmy has put his studies to great use by producing and starring in shows such as Jamie’s Kitchen, Jimmy Doherty’s Farming Heroes and Jimmy’s Farm.

UEL Alumni Officer, Emma Cale, said: “It’s really a pleasure to see one of our alumni doing so well and we wish Jimmy every success with his career. I’ll definitely be watching his series. ”
