Video Description
Getting up at four o'clock in the morning is for most people a rare experience. Fred Davis does it six days a week, travelling through the eerily empty streets to run his business in Birmingham's Vegetable Market. Rene Cutforth spends a day with Fred in a world of pawpaws, pineapples, and carrots from California. Clip taken from Look Stranger, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 28 November, 1976.
