We start on the road chasing a yellow bubble car through leafy Sussex roads before arriving at Hove's Greyhound Stadium where the Queen and Prince Philip have been reviewing local youth groups. Finally we move to Sackville Garage on the Shoreham Road where we are shown how things used to be before the arrival of 'self service'. In their smart BP uniforms, two men fill various vehicles and a jerry-can with fuel before ending with another look at a bubble car - a snip at £250.
