200347 min 15 secFilm: Documentary
This next episode of Trading Places trades two families with very different lifestyles. Art and Melissa Matheson really enjoy the community spirit they find in Miramichi, New Brunswick. Art's job as a prison guard is pretty edgy, so he makes sure to relax with friends down at the sports bar. Melissa has her favourite customers down at her pub - it really is a place where everybody knows her name. When they're not staying buff at the gym, they love spending time with their three kids, Rusty-James, Julia, and Rebecca.
Gary McLean and Beverly Brodie love their Stratford, PEI acreage on the coast near Charlottetown. They enjoy dinner parties and family pizza nights when they're not busy at their medical clinic or driving their daughters, Bridget and Shelby, to various music lessons.
Now, get these two families packed and hand them the envelope that reveals all! The plot thickens as Gary finds out he's going to be a prison guard and Art a plastic surgeon. Beverly learns to sling drinks while Melissa has to advise gynecology patients. Everyone has to find a way to play the part convincingly - whether they're in someone else's apron, scrubs, or uniform!
