The other evening (Wednesday 19 June at 9 pm UK time) I was flicking between channels when on ITV 1, I heard British actor Joanna Lumley say something like, "If only they had a Renault Quatrelle". Luckily, I managed to record the repeat on ITV+1, and lo and behold, the R4 appears for five minutes or so, talking about the restoration and preservation of same - the snippet I caught was a few minutes after the main piece.
The program was "Joanna Lumley's Spice Trail Adventure" (series 1 episode 3) and the episode in question focused on the island of Madagascar and its vanilla trade. Naturally, the Quatrelle's boot proved perfect for the very valuable spicy cargo. The program is available on the ITV X catch-up service.
Enjoy !
