BBC Two - A Cabbie Abroad, Fiji

Mason heads for the islands of Fiji, discovering ethnic tensions and political unrest.

London cabbie Mason McQueen takes his taxi to three different cities. In Fiji, he discovers a very different island to to the tourist brochures.

London cabbie Mason McQueen takes on the challenge of driving a taxi in three very different cities around the world. In this episode, he heads for the palm-fringed islands of Fiji.

As he joins the ranks of the island's capital, Suva and lives with his host Dharmendra Kumar, Mason soon discovers a very different Fiji to the tourist brochures - a country that has struggled with ethnic tensions, political unrest, military coups, a diabetes epidemic and acute poverty. It is all a far cry from the idyllic island life you might expect for a cabbie in paradise.
