Plot
Richard Briers played Tony Fairfax, who upon graduating from Oxford University had been appointed as a "cultural advisor" in a South American banana republic (as a university friend was its president) and was used to a life of luxury, only to be exiled back to Britain when the regime was overthrown at the start of the series. He moves in with his brother Chris (Christopher Blake), who finds him work at his landscape gardening business with limited success.
