Joanna Lumley's India

Three-part ITV travel series following Joanna Lumley as she explores the country of her birth.

Born in Srinagar, Kashmir and Jammu in 1946, a year before the country gained independence from the British Empire, Lumley returns to the country to explore its history and her family's own place in it.

Beginning in the far south of the country, Lumley visits the temple city of Madurai before having an audience with the Dalai Lama and visiting places close to her family, such as where her father proposed to her mother, before also examining the realities of daily life in modern-day India.
