From Shepherd's Bush to Simla
A programme in two parts

Robert Robinson abandons the comfort of the television studios to make a journey across India, from the maelstrom of Calcutta to the cool of the Himalayan hill station, Simla.
It was the journey the ruling British instituted 150 years ago to escape the steam-heat of Calcutta. Today, in an eventful and often amusing expedition, Robinson examines the extent to which the legacy of the British remains - not just in the building and monuments of the Raj and those Brits who have 'stayed on', but within the modern Indians themselves.
