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.
The Rev Hugh Hildesley is Rector at the socially desirable Church of Heavenly Rest on New York's Fifth Avenue. For eight years he was an auctioneer at Sotheby's, USA. He is full of praise for the role ordained women play in America: 'the sooner Britain catches up, the better'. Other successful Brits living in New York include
Shirley Lord, a Vogue editor: 'you learn not to be a shrinking violet': the actor Jim Dale; Philip Kingsley, a multimillionaire trichologist - for, by happy chance, eight out of ten Americans have dandruff; and David Lloyd-Jacob, who has borrowed to start a business and now pays interest of 10,000 dollars a day: 'More than anywhere else in the world, New York tests you... There is a sense of lurking danger, but we love it.'

The last of five programmes on the history of mass education in England and Wales.
Industry
England's early industrial supremacy owed little to education. As foreign competition loomed, schools in Victorian Birmingham began to link their timetable to the needs of local manufacturers. Yet 100 years later, vocational education is still a new and controversial issue.
