Lebanon and the UK

Available for over a year

The journeys, achievements and pride of businesses run by migrants in two contrasting capitals. Abigail Fielding Smith takes us to visit a Beirut video and music shop that is a treasurehouse for the city's refined and cosmopolitan intellectuals - and hear of the long odyssey its owners had to find safety, no matter how tenuous, in Lebanon. And Christine Finn talks British beer, Eastern European work ethics and the value of history with a London pub landlady - from Slovakia!
