Series 1, Episode 2 - Miles On The Clock
An elderly woman reviews her marriage through the vehicles in their lives.
Further details
Valerie, an elderly lady, finds it easier to talk to her car than to people. She always has done, as she explains to the vehicle she's in today: a stately Roller.
She recalls courtship in the back of her husband's car; the limousine to the wedding; touring Europe in a beaten-up Camper van; ferrying children in a people carrier; and her husband trying to recapture his youth in a sports car.
