Part 1 Script (00:08 – 01:17) You’re listening to “First Sight, Second Thoughts” from the BBC World Service, the series which views life in Britain through the eyes of her immigrant population. Mushtaq: Everything of course was very new - going to England was such a dream, you

know. Renate: Very popular here are these orange street lights and they are actually pretty

dim and dark. (Laughs). So, the impression that I remember of Cardiff is grey, grey, grey... I'm sorry! (Laughs)

Ana: Sometimes I couldn't even breathe because the wind was so strong. And I do

still miss the sunshine of Mexico. Presenter: Voices of immigrants as they remember their first impressions of Britain. Today we discover if their ‘first sights’ of Britain matched their expectations.

Immigrants from India, Guyana, Mexico, Germany, Pakistan, Botswana and Iran tell us about their first impressions.

Part 2 Script (01:17 – 02:10) Testimony 1 My name is Rajinder Dulai. I came from Punjab in India. I came into Britain on 16th De-cember 1977 and landed at Heathrow Airport terminal 3. Immigration officers weren't that friendly but the whole excitement (sort of) overcame that unfriendliness from the immigra-tion officer and then we got out of the airport, and it was very chilly…very cold. Presenter: Although Rajinder clearly remembers the unfriendliness of the immigration officers, and the chilly winter weather, arriving in Britain was still an exciting experience for him.

Part 3 Script (02:10 – 03:12) Our next speaker arrived during the Spring, when the weather wasn’t quite as cold. Testimony 2 Coming into London, I was a wee bit disappointed when I saw the buildings. Because I was not accustomed to such big buildings - looking so brown - everything looked alike. I was impressed with street traders as I passed. Beautiful flowers, because it was spring. The Spring everywhere. But the houses...I didn't like the looks of them at all. Presenter: So Muriel’s first sight of London in the spring was a pleasant experience,

particularly because of the flowers. But the buildings weren’t quite what she expected! She said they were “a wee bit” disappointing – a little bit disap- pointing, because she wasn’t “accustomed” to them… She wasn’t used to seeing so many big, brown buildings. And Muriel certainly wasn’t impressed by the look of the houses.
