Péter Magyar and his victorious Tisza party have wasted no time preparing for the transfer of power in Hungary after their dramatic landslide defeat of Viktor Orbán last Sunday.

They won 52% of the vote to put an end to his party's 16 years of continuous rule, which translates into up to 140 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly.

Orbán's Fidesz have slumped from 135 to about 55 seats.

The count will be finalised on Saturday – including recounts in closely tied constituencies, and votes cast abroad.

Magyar has won a pledge from President Tamás Sulyok to bring forward the formation of the new parliament to the week beginning 4 May. Parliament can then elect the new government.

He also gave combative interviews to public service TV and radio, which have largely ignored or attacked him for the past two years.

He has promised to pass laws to suspend their news programmes, until impartial editors can be appointed.

Armed with a so-called super-majority of more than two-thirds of seats in parliament, he also plans retroactively to limit the number of terms a prime minister can serve to two.

Viktor Orbán has already served five. If that goes through, Magyar could slam the door on Orbán's return.

It was not until late on Thursday that Orbán finally broke his silence after Sunday's defeat, in an interview on the Patrióta YouTube channel.

"This is the end of an era," said Hungary's beaten leader. "We must bear this defeat with dignity."

He spoke of feeling "pain and emptiness" about the defeat, taking full personal responsibility for what happened. But he offered no analysis of the main mistakes of his campaign, other than the failure to finish the Russian-designed Paks 2 nuclear power station, which is running six years behind schedule.

A meeting of the top leadership of Fidesz is scheduled for 28 April, ahead of a party congress in June.

In the interview, Orbán said he would continue to lead Fidesz if he was re-elected, but added the party needed "a complete renewal".

Of the rump of 55 seats Fidesz will occupy in the new Parliament, currently only 12 are from individual constituencies, and the rest are from the party lists.

Many of the new deputies on the party lists should be replaced, as they were not suited to working in opposition, he said. There have already been some calls for change, in a party where dissent is rarely expressed in public.

"I think [Orbán] does not have to resign at the moment," said András Cser-Palkovics, Fidesz mayor of the western city of Székesfehérvár. "He should wait for the national caucus and then start assessing [the result]. Then we should have a leadership election."

There is no obvious successor to Orbán in the party, and none with his skill or charm at integrating different opinions and ambitions.

US and British advisers criticised the main Fidesz campaign slogan "the safe choice", because it would alienate young voters.

But it was hard for a party in power for so long, to present itself to the voters as the party of change, one source told the BBC.

In response, two younger politicians, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, 47, and Transport Minister János Lázár, 51, often appeared at Orbán's rallies. But rather than reinvigorating the party, their dynamism just made its leader seem old and tired.

Orbán will be 63 next month, but the wear and tear of 38 years in frontline politics are obvious to even his hardcore supporters.

There is a mood of fear and recrimination in the governing party.

Rumours of imminent arrests for corruption swirl around Budapest. On social media, Tisza supporters are impatient for those who grew rich illegally under the previous government to be held to account.

"My message to Fidesz leaders and their stooges: It's no use playing the innocent little ballet girl now, and acting as if nothing happened," he posted on Facebook. "We know what you've done to our beloved homeland and the Hungarian people. And don't doubt for a single moment that 'you will reap what you sow'."

In downtown Budapest, just about every single Fidesz poster has been defaced. On many, the word, Vége – the end – has been spray-painted. Others have been ripped, and redecorated with expletives.

The party's sudden fall from grace in the eyes of the population, even of some erstwhile supporters, has been spectacular.

The tough tone of the incoming Tisza leaders appears to be both emotional and tactical.

They are taking revenge for the campaign of demonisation which the government-controlled Central European Press and Media Foundation (Kesma) has orchestrated against them and against Magyar personally. Kesma includes 476 titles, of which around 50 are primarily news outlets.

One of the first problems Tisza faces is to stop money being taken out of the country by businessmen close to the ruling party. Dubai is a favourite destination of Hungarian oligarchs.

Another is to prevent the destruction of evidence of corruption, for example in government ministries.

While papers are shredded in some offices, two Tisza insiders told the BBC, officials are offering Tisza pen drives with digital copies, in exchange for keeping their jobs, or immunity from prosecution.

In the week before the election, as opinion polls consistently predicted a big opposition majority, Tisza claims dozens of contracts were signed with favoured companies, committing the state to future IT, research, construction and other projects.

With their new, two-thirds majority, they will be able to pass laws to restore checks and balances eroded or destroyed by Fidesz in the past 16 years.

In his campaign, Magyar promised to establish an office to recover stolen state assets.

This week, he repeated his promise to join the Luxembourg-based European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO). That would help prove to the EU that he is eager to fight corruption, but it only has the power to investigate the misuse of EU funds.

He has also held talks with Zsolt Hernádi, CEO of MOL, the Hungarian energy giant, which operates two refineries in Hungary and Slovakia, on which both countries depend.

The urgent restoration of oil supplies through the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline from Russia across Ukraine, is one of the few subjects on which Magyar and Viktor Orbán agree. It has been closed down since late January, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week the oil could start flowing by the end of the month.

Hungary's incoming prime minister says he wants to diversify Hungary's oil supplies, especially by making better use of an alternative pipeline from the Croatian island of Krk.

Almost three-quarters of 18-29 year-olds are estimated to have backed Tisza, and a former Hungarian ambassador to the US under Orbán, Réka Szemerkényi, told the BBC she was impressed by the messages that Hungary's younger generation had conveyed to their new leaders.

"'Ria, Ria Hungaria', meaning we love our country," was one, said Szemerkényi, now at the Equilibrium Institute in Budapest. "Then the chants of 'Europa', and the third I heard repeatedly was 'Russians go home'. These three together are like a foreign policy agenda."

On Friday, a high level delegation from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's office arrived in Budapest for informal talks with Tisza officials, led by Péter Magyar.

To access €17bn (£15bn) in EU funds, withheld from the Orbán government, his new government will need to meet 27 criteria – on independence of the judiciary, tackling corruption, and liberating the media from government control.

Hungary's economy is in a deep slump, and Magyar and his team know they will have to hit the ground running.

Ever heard of carrageenan pudding? No? Neither had food content creator Annie Mae Herring until a few weeks ago.

"It was awful," says the 33-year-old from Essex. "It was a soggy welly, with, like, Fairy Liquid and a bit of salt."

A milk-based dessert similar in appearance to a blancmange, the pudding uses carrageen moss – a type of seaweed found in coastal areas – to give it a gelatinous texture.

"Maybe I did it wrong, and I will absolutely throw my hands up in the air," Herring admits, before adding jokingly that, either way, it "may die a fiery death".

This pudding is one of many dishes Herring has been making and posting to her followers, as part of a social media series exploring endangered and lost recipes from the UK and Ireland.

Other dishes include a Staffordshire clanger – a half-sweet, half-savoury pasty she describes as "wonderfully strange"; Brown Windsor soup, which is associated with the Victorian royals; and chocolate concrete, a school-dinner classic Herring paired with a radioactive green custard, reminiscent of her own school days.

Herring has been making food content for a decade, but nothing has captivated her audience as much as this most recent series. Many of her viewers recall eating these dishes as children.

"Thanks for the trip down memory lane: we used to have this at primary school – it was my absolute favourite," one follower commented on a video of a Sussex pond pudding, which has a whole lemon encased inside a steamed suet pastry.

"Each table of six children had a whole one. One child was the server of the day, who sliced it into portions.

"We had a large slice each with custard poured by the pourer of the day."

Another commented on a video of an Eve's pudding, a cake batter baked with apples: "I think this is the dessert my grandmother always made for Sunday lunch!

"But as she grew up in the Depression and never had cream for the table, the family served it with milk. Now I just don't know how you could eat it if not with a splash of milk on top."

Herring says she had expected a little bit of nostalgia, but it's been "overwhelming just how emotional people have been".

Herring isn't the only one delving into the UK's culinary history.

Shannon McCarthy, a self-described "goth baker" from Barnsley, has been exploring old regional recipes from across the country.

Dishes she's made range from panackelty, a stew consisting of potatoes, onions and corned beef, to Staffordshire oatcakes, a type of yeasted pancake, and Lancashire hotpot, made with mutton or lamb. All have evoked strong emotions among her followers.

"People love them so much, they can't believe that other people haven't heard of them," she says.

Dr Neil Buttery, a chef and food historian, says these "hyper-regional" dishes are among those most at risk of disappearing.

Others include jugged hare and flummery – an oat-based fermented jelly, associated with farmhouse production and poverty.

Some endangered dishes aren't quite so obscure, however.

Buttery says there are some we probably recognise the names of but probably couldn't describe in detail and wouldn't really cook any more – like spotted dick.

While some of these dishes can be found on the menus of high-end restaurants focusing on British cooking, he argues the bar in deciding whether they are endangered or not often lies in whether people still regularly make them at home.

Herring worries some of these rarer dishes may soon disappear altogether.

"It's important we know that these recipes exist before they entirely disappear," she says. "They provide a snapshot of a different time".

But not everyone feels all dishes need to be revered to the same degree.

Chef and restaurant owner Anna Tobias is a champion of old-school British desserts, which often feature on her restaurant Café Deco's menu. While she says they are often best-sellers, she feels that there are some recipes that deserve to be relegated to history.

"Ultimately, the recipe has to be good – there are some really awful ones," she says, referencing strange combinations she has seen in cookbooks, including banana and herring and lamb and crab.

"Classic dishes are classic for a reason," she continues, "because they're good.

"Because they've been tried and tested – and accepted."

One business cashing in on a classic regional dish is La Rondine bakery in Bedford.

It sells a former school-dinner staple known as chocolate toothpaste. A sweet tart filled with a chocolate paste made with cocoa and milk powders.

Carlo Garganese, who runs the bakery alongside his father, Salvatori, says he believes the tarts are so popular – with the bakery selling 1,000 a week – because anyone who went to school in Bedford will fondly remember eating them at lunchtime.

"I think that's carried over into their adulthood," he says.

One business that sells steamed savoury suet puddings, an old-school British classic, worries memories of days gone by may not be enough to keep their puddings going in the long term.

Matthew Botley, head of operations at Kentish Mayde, says he can see a time when the puddings will "get forgotten as a British food".

While the puddings are popular among an older demographic, younger people don't tend to buy them, he says.

"I think we've got a few years of it yet, but I can see a time when the people who are eating them are no longer around."

While nostalgia is "massively" important in preserving endangered dishes, Buttery says, "you've got to pass it down, so that the next generation below you, or even the next one down from there, can also feel nostalgic about it in 50 years time.

For anyone who has experienced the chaos of a British festival campsite, videos coming from Coachella could certainly raise eyebrows.

Some of those attending the much talked about festival, which takes place over two weekends each year in Palm Springs, California, are ditching hastily assembled pop-up tents and crumpled gazebos.

Instead, they're driving cars onto the campsite and creating an elaborate tent behind the car – with full-size beds, dressing rooms and even their own showers.

Car camping itself is nothing new, but the OTT way some Coachella campers are doing it this year is sparking conversation online.

It's even been labelled "performative camping" – where you make your pitch as fancy as possible and film it for social media clout.

Ali Calder's TikTok videos of her Coachella camp racked up millions of views last weekend.

"I got a three inch memory foam mattress pad so it felt just like my bed at home," Ali says. "For the tent itself I [built] walls and my decorations were super fun."

She also put up LED lights and brought her own shower and a cooler, which she "filled with drinks and snacks like hummus and salsa".

There was even a disco ball, an electric fan, a selection of blankets and a furry rug to complete the set-up.

The 31-year-old from Arizona, who is attending Coachella for the fifth time, tells me "half the fun" of car camping is "all the decorating and having a cool place to come back to".

There are several different accommodation options, similar to those offered at British festivals.

These include standard camping where you bring your own tent, and glamping which involves staying in more expensive pre-erected tents and cabins. This year, Coachella says car camping is its "most popular overnight option".

Ali says the cost to camp from Thursday to Monday was $500 (£370) – which included upgrading to a plot closest to the festival stages – and general admission tickets cost about $600 (£443) for all three days.

Many of Coachella's celebrity guests choose to stay away from the festival site, in hotels and rented properties, mirroring behaviour at UK festivals like Glastonbury.

Ali's TikTok video, which she says she posted "just for the memories", quickly attracted the attention of Brits.

"I couldn't stop laughing [at the comments] because obviously my setup was the ultimate girly glamping experience and people were sending me pictures of a chair in mud with a tent next to it," she jokes.

"No-one's really hating on [my set-up] and I mean each to their own. If that's your vibe, to just have a pop-up tent, then all power to you," she adds.

Other videos from last weekend's festival (Coachella runs near-identical line-ups two weekends in a row) show inflatable sofas, fairy lights and makeshift kitchens.

These, too, have attracted the attention of British festival goers who are more used to dragging their wellies through mud and torrential rain, with elaborate car camping seemingly not as popular – yet, anyway – in the UK.

Some of those we spoke to described a friendly and safe atmosphere among car campers, with people happy to share items with strangers who had lost something. That helped reassure some their belongings wouldn't get stolen when they headed away from camp to see performances.

Ali's not the only Coachella car camper to push back at the idea their set-ups are performative.

Khadijah Brown, who flew to the festival from Texas, insists her set-up with her friends, which included four cars and four tents, was necessary to withstand challenging weather conditions at the festival.

"The reality of camping is that it's a truly out of body experience," the 25-year-old says. "It is nasty, gross and unorganised – no matter how well you plan for it."

"Last year it was so hot that you were putting on your make-up and it was dripping off, and this year we had crazy wind storms so our tents ended up blowing into other people's areas."

Extreme weather at British festivals often makes headlines, such as Download getting flooded or Boomtown attendees being warned about extreme heat. Temperatures at Coachella have exceeded 30C (86F), with 25mph (40kmph) winds at night.

"The dust was extremely bad," Khadijah, who has been to the festival three times, says, "and we were sleeping in bandanas so we weren't breathing the dust in."

She says some online critics were questioning why she made such an effort to car camp, but "it is something me and my friends view as worth it in order to have the experience of Coachella".

She also wants people to remember that the cost of attending a festival like Coachella is high and "everyone has different financial restrictions" in her friendship group for where they can stay, so they wanted to find a happy medium.

"We've done hotels before and the shuttles can take up to two to three hours and when you're spending upwards of $1000 (£738) to be at a music festival, you want to make sure you can see the artists you are there for."

"We would do it ten times over again," she says of her and her friends.

"Coachella truly is the festival of all festivals – there is nothing like it."
