Paul Merton in India

Beginning in Delhi, Paul enjoys a course in etiquette before taking a ride on a stationary plane and finding out about the city’s street monkeys. Elsewhere in India, he visits a temple devoted to rats and participates in a huge religious ceremony.

Paul heads north to Punjab, a place fabled for living life the ‘king-size’ way. Once there, he meets a group of dancing policemen; attends a cricket match for the blind; visits a prosthetic-limb clinic; and falls in with a gang of racketeering eunuchs.

Paul Merton continues his fascinating tour of India. In this episode, Paul lets his hair down in the self-proclaimed ‘rock city’ of India; visits a centre for the children of prostitutes in Kolkata; and samples the laid-back countryside of Kerala in south India.

The comedian visits Hyderabad to see the world's largest tricycle and meet some of the area's snake catchers. He also takes a trip to a Bangalore, where he visits a prison so well known for its excellent food that released prisoners ask to be sent back in, and watches a man try to set world records in skipping, thread winding and disc throwing.

Paul Merton’s fascinating tour of India comes to an end. In this episode, Paul meets the children who live in Mumbai’s central station; discovers the joys of ‘Mollywood’ cinema; endures past-life regression therapy; and meets an exceptionally dedicated record breaker.
