Whatever happened to the Breton onion-sellers - those familiar figures wearing berets and riding bicycles laden with onions? Although some still ply their trade in Britain, they have been replaced by a new generation of self-employed lorry drivers carrying mostly cauliflowers and other goods.
Kenneth Hudson joins one such lorry driver, Pierre Martin , on a journey from Roscoffto
Lincolnshire and makes some unusual discoveries about the life of the drivers and the vegetable trade on the way. Producer JUDE HOWELLS
