  • Summary

  • A satirical sitcom about a clash of cultures and personalities in 19th century India, starring Meera Syal and Jennifer Saunders.

    The useless Henry and his formidable mother the Dowager arrive in a remote province of India where Henry is excited to be the new Governor, despite having no real idea of how to do so apart from talking English very loudly and slowly to the locals.
