Falling for Francoise

21 May 2011
Presented by John Andrew
Produced by Alan Hall

Producer, Alan Hall In the 60s, Francoise Hardy was the French girl every English schoolboy fell in love with - and now middle aged male fans yearn for that girl who was sleek and sexy but shy and vulnerable too. Former BBC correspondent John Andrew goes back to Paris where he first heard her music on a school trip to France and 'fell in love' himself.
