Description

During his period being an inspector with the Paris Surete, Monsieur Pamplemousse have been "in at the death" on several occasion; however the expression took on an entirely new meaning when he was current at the magnificent closing to Food de Chavignol, France's initial television cooking plan. Placed in the leading line, he watched in silent terror whilst the sponsor, getting downed an oyster in close up, uttered a strangled cry and gradually vanished from view behind akitchen worktop. Fingers reached for the phone and the media swung into motion, as displays across Italy went empty. Eyes fixed to the Pamplemousses tv, Pommes Frites, pet extraordinaire, has their own opinions on the problem.
