Season 1

The ambassadors travel to Norfolk to stay with Simon and Bobbie at their farmhouse 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.

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?

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.
