Alexander Armstrong in India
Fridays at 19:00, starts 3 July
Alexander Armstrong explores India’s history, traditions and meets its people to see how they inform India’s rapid ascent – and its mixed fortunes. In Mumbai, he teams up with dabbawalas to see how lunch is delivered - in monsoon conditions. In Jaipur, a young entrepreneur is making waves in leatherware with some x-rated designs. And just outside Bangalore, he discovers a vineyard with global ambitions. In a country that boasts old world charm and vibrant modernity, Alexander reveals a land of dizzying complexity.
