For five Midlanders, living and working in New York ranges from the bizarre to the businesslike. But none are in a rush to come home. A former Raleigh Cycles engineer who now works on an American TV soap opera; a Banbury girl who is a waitress in a downtown restaurant; and the former landlord of a Walsall pub who paints abstract art are some of the people who have swapped the Midlands for Manhattan. The programme traces why they made the move and how their lives differ.
