Whicker's World: Living with Uncle Sam

on BBC One London

Ten films in which
Alan Whicker talks to
Brits who have gone to live in the USA.
7: Right Now I'm Hot - When I'm Cut, I'm Very Cold....
Mick Luckhurst is the envy of every American boy. He's kicker for the Atlanta
Falcons and earns over
200,000 dollars a year: 'Here you can't play a good game, and lose.'
Clive Wilson ,
Trevor Richards and Chris Burke are keeping traditional jazz alive in the very spot where it was born, New Orleans. Around the corner is the Useful Shop - a hardware store run by Joan Norris ; she has an Oxford degree and once worked at the Cheltenham
'spy centre'. Her husband left her and their two children penniless: 'There is a charity hospital, so I've somewhere to go!' Dr Paul Buisseret passionately defends the American medical system:
'In British hospitals intensive care is the bed next to Sister's desk!'
