Mail Order Brides
'If I wasn't so disillusioned with British women, I wouldn't be going all the way to the Philippines to find a wife.'
Thousands of British men take their pick from catalogues of Filipino women then fly East to meet them. Often they've only known each other for a few hours before deciding to marry. Douglas Knight runs
Britain's largest agency. 'I am a lot like an estate agent. He has a house to sell, I have a life to sell - her life.'
Graham Wiles from Lincoln and Brian Finch from Shrewsbury make the remarkable journey to the Philippines and discover that the course of 'true love' is not always a smooth one.
