One Pair of Eyes: Happiness is Wheel-Shaped

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Happiness is Wheel-Shaped says Tom Wolfe in tonight's programme in this series of highly personal films.
Cars have always been dream symbols for the working American. But today it is not the mass-produced model from Detroit which dominates the lives of thousands of Californians but their own customised, sculpted machine-be it car, motorcycle, or even tricycle. In his One Pair of Eyes, the American writer Tom Wolfe explores some of the cults of the internal combustion engine which are currently obsessing Californians of all classes.
