mcgillianaireI love the fact Aunty Beeb commissions a fairly regular stream of programmes based in India but this one is pretty ordinary. There are some good bits and it is almost saved by the sultry Anita Rani (of The One Show fame) but it's an hour long programme that could've been squeezed into half that. However I'm not really the target audience. I'm sure many Brits (especially those who've never been to or know much about India) will find it interesting and possibly even fascinating. Luckily for me there's only one more episode to sit through next week. I know I don't have to watch it but it's almost worth it for the eye candy alone and besides, it's about India.
(The programme did remind me of another one the Beeb broadcast in 2009 and that I wrote about here. It was titled The Maharajas' Motor Car: The Story of Rolls-Royce in India. Indeed in the new programme Anita Rani meets the Maharana of Udaipur and even gets to drive around in his 1924 Rolls-Royce which featured so prominently in the earlier programme. The earlier programme was much better and possibly more educational.)
