The name of the program is a play on the title of Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist.
Following the popularity of his first TV series, The Naked Chef, Oliver began producing Oliver's Twist to be aired outside the UK.
The show became a success — being aired in over 70 countries — and helped establish Oliver's global popularity.
All music for the show was composed by Leigh Haggerwood.
"Just the Start", the theme song, was performed by Scarlet Division, the band for which Oliver has been a drummer for since 1989.
