A 13-part worldwide series Presented by Ronald Eyre
1: Three Hundred and Thirty Million Gods
1 The Long Search is open to anybody. You don't have to go to
Benares, India, to start it, though we did. It doesn't have a tidy beginning, middle, and end. You're on it the moment that you start wondering where you were before you were born, where you'll go when you die, and what you're on earth for in the meantime. If you knew the answers you wouldn't ask the questions. But other people's answers should be worth collecting - and so should other people's questions. That's what we're going to try to do ...
... the blockbuster series comes of age ... The series puts a premium on filmed events; Eyre, by selection, question and basic continuity, allows the viewer to make discoveries rather than be told things ... The Long Search has all the makings of a milestone.
(THE OBSERVER)
... Mr Eyre 's trip through India was mind-spinning. Fortunately, he was gentleman enough to be a bit mind-blown himself. (THE TIMES) Associate producers
