The Penrith Mountain Rescue team works in a tough area with an unforgiving landscape and unpredictable weather. Each year they rescue hundreds of walkers who have injured themselves on the Fells – making good use of the highly adapted Renault Master Van which is used as a command and control centre, especially given 2009's freak winter weather. In this film we meet the Mountain Rescue team members, all of them volunteers, who are prepared to drop everything to go on potentially life-saving call-outs in conditions that are often treacherous. We see the role the Renault Master plays in search and rescue operations and join a team on a training exercise. We're also with the team when a genuine call-out takes place and they head into the snow-covered hills to rescue a casualty.

In 1972 the car that many say was the first supermini, was revealed to the press and public to huge acclaim. Over the next 20 years the 5 would become the most cherished model in Renault's range, beloved of everyone, from people on a budget, to horse power hungry rally drivers as they powered to victory. We learn of the sad, yet inspirational tale of the 5's design by Michel Boue. We hear about the 5's astonishing debut at the Monte Carlo Rally, as told by its victorious driver Jean Ragnotti, who then takes us on a wild ride as he blasts his famous Rally car around the historic Montlhery race track. We're given a tour of the 5's nuts and bolts by the men who look after Renault's incredible Historic Car Collection. In addition, respected motoring journalists Jason Barlow, Richard Bremner and Marie-France Estenave give an independent view of the 5's story. This documentary reveals, with exclusive access and in unparalleled detail, this compelling story.

This programme contains 2 great films about the joys of travel, one a documentary, one a complete fantasy.

This short film tells the fictional tale of two girls being challenged to use all their guile and charm in order to inherit a rural farm. The conditions of the inheritance mean they must travel 5000kms in their Renault Domaine – on just one tank of petrol! Despite the reasonably frugal Renault doing it's best to make the trip without refuelling, the girls are soon involved in all sorts of japes and adventures to keep the petrol coming. These scenarios range from an innocent request for any spare fuel from passers by, to the girls taking part in a beauty contest, while along the way they find themselves looking after somebody's cows!

This film describes the exciting experience of taking part in the 1954 Monte Carlo rally but from an unusual point of view. The whole story of preparation, travelling to the event and taking part is told to us by a slightly sarcastic and rather feisty Renault 4CV. Renault used to, and still does, love giving its cars a human character and how better to do this than allow the car itself to describe the experience of taking part in Europe's most famous rally event. The 4CV was always one of the less powerful entrants so keep your eyes open for the much heavier, more powerful Mercedes, Alfas, Jaguars and Rovers, however because of deft preparation and the poor conditions, plus the excellent traction from the rear engine layout, the little 4CV was often to be found finishing rallys in surprisingly high postions.

This programme features 2 different films that clearly illustrate the changing roles and increasing freedom that cars were bringing to the lives of women in the post World War 2 years. The first is an episode of Renault's Automobile Magazine show that focuses on the rapid growth in women drivers and the way they use them to go about their work. Then we follow a chic Parisienne as she goes to the Paris Motor show to see a beautiful new Renault; the Floride. The other is a documentary about 4 intrepid Elles fashion models who drove a pair of Renault 4s from the southern most tip of South America all the way up to Northern Alaska. They were taking part in Renault's famous “Around the World” scheme and had all sorts of trials and tribulations along the way. The alluring mix of gritty determination and sophisticated glamour makes this especially engaging viewing.
