The Arrival
Episode 1, Jan 26, 12:30 AM
Two Lancastrian soldiers of fortune land in 1970s Rome from the UK. They're met by a devastating kaleidoscope of cultural, fashion and culinary contrasts. Ian is a young failed dental student and Dick (also known as 'JRH') is an ageing rugby star. Their first tentative exploratory steps take them to the jet set world of Argentario by the sea. The worldly, cultured Peppe Pagni takes them under his wing. “We are barbarians” exclaims Dick. The adventure is only just beginning.
