Richard Briers is Tony, a former Cultural Advisor to a South American dictator who flees back to England after a revolution. Used to being pampered and feted, he must adapt to the harsh realities of life. He lodges with his brother and sister-in-law, and gets a labouring job with his brother's landscaping firm. The comedy and drama elements focus on the conflict between his former pampered life and the harsh realities of just surviving.
