Episode 1
In Delhi, Rob and Rylan discover a tomb with a view, encounter a billionaire art collector, attempt their own rap performance and try the ancient art of puppetry.
Following their grand tour of Italy, Rob Rinder and Rylan are going out of the art galleries and into the teeming streets of one of the world’s oldest and greatest civilisations - India. They hope to travel in the footsteps of Rob's favourite author, EM Forster, who wrote the novel A Passage to India.
They begin their journey in Delhi, India’s capital – home to 34 million people, almost four times the population of London. They visit the chaotic street market of Chandni Chowk, where Forster began his journey, the 16th-century architectural masterpiece Humayun’s Tomb, and the Lodhi Colony, where the buildings are covered in giant paintings.
The pair meet billionaire art collector Shalini Passi, and activist and rapper Naveen Koomar, who invites Rob and Rylan to perform their own self-penned rap out on the street. And their time in Delhi ends at the Kathputli Colony, where master puppeteer Puran invites Rob and Rylan to try pulling a few strings themselves.
