Summer Festival of BBC Documentary Films: 7: Onion Johnnie

on BBC Television

View in Radio Times

Written by Richard Cawston and Stephen Hearst.

This film compares two ways of life. It is about the men who live half their lives in France and half in Britain-the Breton onion-sellers, with their berets and strings of onions. Viewers follow the 'Onion Johnnies' from their homes in Brittany to door-steps throughout the British Isles.
Commentary spoken by Jacques Brunius.
