Monsoon

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In the last week of May, the whole of India prays for the onset of the monsoon. Without its life-giving rains, the nation would become a land of dry i wells and deserts. Writer
Alexander Frater awaits the 'burst' at the southernmost tip of India, then travels with it on its dramatic journey north, witnessing the monsoon's towering influence on every aspect of Indian life. The astonishing village of Cherrapunji lies at the end of the monsoon's trail. An old
British hill station containing a graveyard of British suicides, it is listed in the Guinness
Book of Records as the wettest place on earth. And it is here that the monsoon stages its operatic climax. See panel. Director David Wallace
