| Summary |
This series takes three ordinary British workers and asks them to clock on with the locals in places that are wildly different from those they are used to. London binman Wilbur Ramirez spends ten days working in Jakarta; Cornish fisherman Andy Giles tries fishing from a canoe on the coast of Sierra Leone; and train driver Simon Davies faces one of the highest and steepest railway lines on earth in Peru. Armed only with their skills, they live and work with a mentor and see just what life is like working under some of the toughest conditions on the planet.London binman Wilbur Ramirez heads to Jakarta, the vast mega city that is the capital of Indonesia. For ten days Wilbur works with Imam, one of an army of semi-destitute binmen who collect rubbish in one of the biggest and fastest growing cities in the world.From the health and safety conscious world of British waste management, Wilbur enters a life of squalor and poverty - staying next to a fly-ridden dump and joining Imam's back breaking daily round as he collects the rubbish of Jakarta's wealthy. It's a moving journey as Wilbur discovers the insecurity and danger that dominates Imam's life, and his powerlessness to change his circumstances.
