Flying the FlagSeries 4
Episode 4 of 8

Ambassador Mackenzie witnesses the movie-making prowess of the People's Republic up close. Stars Dinsdale Landen. From July 1992.

The novelty of artistic freedom in the People's Democracy attracts a swarm of film location managers, hungry for new backdrops, authentic faces - and cheap labour.

The movie moguls hadn't bargained for one thing, however: a little diplomatic scene stealing.

Starring Dinsdale Landen.
