A series of filmed documentaries about the way people live now.
Their weapons are razors, scissors and rat-tail combs. Their long months of training have had a special edge, because they know they are up against some of the sharpest competition in the world: 'I've never been in an international yet where there hasn't been any cheating - the Italians and French do their fair share and in 1978 the Germans cheated so much they were disqualified.' Representing the British gents are Simon, Tino, Rocco and Trevor. For the ladies, John, Paul, Andrew and Chris.
Follow the contest as the British boys snip for gold under the hot arc lights of the 1984 World Hairdressing Championships in Las Vegas. It's a cut-throat battle, with the risk of skulduggery at front, back and sides.
