Episode 1
The five Amish teenagers – Jerry, Andrew, Leah, Becky and Leon – bid an emotional farewell to their loved ones, as leaving their closed community for the very first time hits home.
Their first challenge is getting to the UK: how will they cope with their first experience on an aeroplane?
Over four weeks they will stay with four very different British families and it’s a baptism of fire as first up they find themselves in the concrete jungle of London.
Their London teenage hosts are street dancers, an art form that’s completely alien to them. The Amish come from spacious homes in safe communities; how will they cope with the noisy, bustling streets of London?
It’s a massive eye-opener for the five innocent travellers, who are shown the seedy streets of Soho, discover the grim reality of knife crime and begin to realise just how different the lives and morals of their hosts are.
