Man Alive: Entente Tropicale

on BBC Two England

Reporters: Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Desmond Wilcox, Harold Williamson

This week: Entente Tropicale
A report by Man Alive and French Television on the New Hebrides in the South Pacific.
In a tropical paradise miles from anywhere lies this tiny chain of volcanic islands. By a unique accident of historical convenience they are jointly governed by Great Britain and France. This condominium - a colony of beer and beaujolais, chips and camembert -has two of everything. There are bobbies and gendarmes, lycees and grammar schools, Douanes and Customs, pubs and bistros.
Yet this strange mixed-marriage of government still seems to work - at least for the Europeans.
Jim Douglas Henry and a Man Alive team make their own entente with Dominique Viard and French Television.
