WHAT DOES a French naval ship commanding officer and a multiple award-winning London hairstylist share in common? Both make the shortlist of guests appearing on the newest episode of Rolling with Deiwght Peters this Sunday on Television Jamaica (TVJ).

The vessel’s stopover on the island earlier this month saw Ollive and his 26-man crew of officers, petty officers, quartermasters and sailors engaged with the Jamaica Defence Force and Coast Guard on several exercises, including sea rescue operations and beach reconnaissance.
“I was i ntrigued f rom the moment I received the call from the Embassy of France that the ship was visiting, and accepted the invitation for the exclusive tour. After all, it’s not every day such an opportunity presents itself, and I knew it would be a treat for my viewers who enjoy the show’s weekly exclusives,” Peters told The Gleaner,
He added, “It was a remarkable learning experience and a true pleasure meeting Commander Ollive.”
