The episode involves Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian and Chef Rabah Ourrad both cooking a traditional North African dish, 'Couscous royal', from their respective kitchens in London and Algiers. As they cook they discuss displacement, nation-states, colonisation, moon exploration and human settlements in space. Together they think about possible futures on the moon, and they end up eating their couscous in a DIY moon set they develop in their kitchen.

Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian is an award-winning designer of experiences, a French filmmaker with Algerian and Armenian descent, who creates multi-dimensional experiential projects at the intersection of film, science, tech, theatre, politics and design.
