Whicker's World: Living with Uncle Sam: 2: You're a Well-Balanced Girl from Maida Vale...

on BBC One London

Ten films in which Alan Whicker talks to Brits who have gone to live in the USA.

Joan Collins is an international phenomenon. She talks about her life in Los Angeles, and her role in Dynasty.
Jane Deknatel produces her own films. She talks about the changing role of women in American society.
Mike London is a professional poker-player in Las Vegas. He clears 60,000 dollars a year.
Rachel, Jill and Suzanne are dancers at one of Vegas's casino-hotel shows. They love America - 'but we're not here for the men!'
Former GI bride from Coventry Mavis Okerlund is marriage director at the Little Church of the West, the ultimate in assembly-line weddings.

"A first-rate series, with Whicker using a nicely-weighted line of polite insult which seems to go down very well." (Daily Telegraph)
