Ten films in which Alan Whicker talks to Brits who have gone to live in the USA.
Ralph Murphy produced 300 records before making the Journey from Saffron Walden to Nashville. Along with Roger Cook, who's written more hits than anyone except Paul McCartney, and Michael Snow from Liverpool, he's part of the British contingent bridging the gap between pop and country and western. In Palm Beach, Whicker meets Guy and Hilary Wyatt who started a landscaping business; Bill Burt who left the Scottish Daily Mail in 1961 and now edits one of America's outrageous tabloids; and Pam Symes, a widow who tells of the other side of life in the millionaires' enclave.
"The series reconfirms Alan Whicker as one of the best, and certainly the most durable, of television's grandee reporters..." (Daily Telegraph)
