Living with Uncle Sam
A series of ten films in which Alan Whicker talks to a wide range of enterprising Brits who've gone to live and work in the USA.

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...!'
