Snow 1

Armed with video cameras and warm clothes, five South Pacific islanders from Vanuatu travel around the UK recording their experiences of living with representatives of the three 'tribes' of Britain: the Working Class, the Middle Class, and the Upper Class. From KFC bargain buckets to karaoke, housework to fox-hunting, and dog parlours to stately homes, the five ambassadors immerse themselves in modern British culture, making profound and moving observations along the way.

Episode 1
The ambassadors travel to Norfolk to stay with Simon and Bobbie at their farmhouse B&B. They learn about English pig-farming, attend a life-sculpting class and join in the ritual Friday night activities at the local pub. Many of the things they see they find very strange, but then they meet Ian, a local rabbit hunter, who takes them ferreting. His connection to life and nature greatly impresses the ambassadors, and leads to a remarkable epiphany in Bobbie's kitchen.

Episode 2
The islanders head off to stay with Manchester couple Julie and Ray for a taste of British urban life. Visiting their first British city is an exciting and eye-opening experience for the islanders but they are saddened to discover how many homeless people are living on the streets. How, they ask, is it possible for a city with so much wealth to contain people with no home or family to shelter them?

Episode 3
The ambassadors travel to Northumberland to stay at Chillingham Castle, and then head further north. After a run-in with some snow they head to London, which they find full of people who don't smile and seem to be rushing everywhere. But in London they receive a letter inviting them to Windsor to meet HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. For the five ambassadors, this is the fulfilment of all their hopes.
