S1, E1: Comedian Sue Perkins explores the story of India through the life of its most beguiling and exuberant city - Kolkata. From its grand history as the seat of British Imperial power to its modern reincarnation as a centre of commerce, the past, present and future of India co-exist here like nowhere else. The last rich kids of the Raj, the new property entrepreneurs, the 8,000 rickshaw men and an estimated 250,000 homeless street children all live, work and sleep in the same beautiful, crazy and colourful place.
