In the last 100 years mankind has split the atom, walked on the moon and broken the sound barrier we haven`t got any better at making biscuits. The nation`s favourite biscuit, McVitie`s Chocolate Digestive, was first baked in 1892. This is just one of the fascinating facts you will find in The Nation`s Favourite. What is the UK`s favourite karaoke song, or wedding first dance song? What is our favourite cereal, painkiller, pet or garden tool? The Nation`s Favourite brings together 220 lists which provide the answers to these questions and many more. The result is amusing, surprising and reveals a fascinating picture of the tastes and habits of the UK population.
