Victoria Coren Mitchell interviews actress Dame Sheila Hancock about cars.
Sheila reminisces about the cars she has known taking us on a trip through her remarkable life from the first stirrings of her theatrical ambitions through to the day John Thaw fell for her and why the number of seats in a Morgan sports car is important, and thence to the enduring lure of a Jaguar and how the trick of getting older is actually to speed up...
Series in which famous women look at their lives from the perspective of the cars they have known, the journeys they've been on and the things they keep in their boot for emergencies.
With contributions from our studio audience and tongue-in-cheek readings from Morwenna Banks.
Produced by Gareth Edwards.
A BBC Studios Comedy production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2017.
