[Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett on Sunday morning as they narrated an aerial view of a French chateau southwest of Paris:]
Paul (informatively): You might not know this but in a very secluded part of the garden there's a very old tree, a sequoia which was planted around about 1860.
Phil (surprised): The sequoia is not , not a tree of, indigenous to France, it's Africa, isn't it, the sequoia tree?
Paul (reassuringly): I believe it is.
Me: Sequoia. Sequoiadendron. Metasequoia.
