Floating Down The Nile on The Oxford English Dictionary by DOUGLAS KENNEDY
Jonathan Pringle , a young
Irishman, is determined to put his years of Arabic studies to good use by moving to Cairo. But his fellow teachers in the English language school where he has a job do not share his fascination with Arabism.
Things turn sour as Jonathan hilariously becomes more Arab than the Arabs.
Directed by PETER KAVANAGH BBC Northern Ireland
