How the Donut King lost his crown

Ted Ngoy was among the first Cambodians to find refuge in America from the Khmer Rouge. He was scratching a living at a petrol station when he got a whiff of a donut and something clicked in him. He learned to bake, then trained and supported other refugees like himself, and was soon presiding over a multimillion dollar business. He was known as the Donut King, and had the deep respect of his family and his community. But - as Jo Fidgen finds out - he struggled to hang on to his crown. Ted’s story is featured in the documentary The Donut King.

Michael Quetting a.k.a. Papa Goose is a German ornithologist who raised seven rambunctious goslings in an elaborate experiment to gather weather data.
