Am not sure if this is the first episode, but information from the BBC HD channel says that Alexander will also be featured.The Story of India
Fri 14 Sep, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins
Reaching the time of the Fall of Rome in the West, Michael Wood seeks out the amazing achievements of India's golden age. We learn how India discovered zero, calculated the circumference of the earth and wrote the world's first sex guide, the Kama Sutra.
In the south we visit the giant temple of Tanjore, meet the present day Senior Prince and see traditional bronze casters, working as their ancestors did 1000 years ago. After sampling southern vegetarian food with a traditional Tamil family, Michael goes on pilgrimage to a sacred mountain where the annual fire festival was already famous in 700AD!
Hmm, wonder how long it will take for this to be shown in the US?Additionally, Michael Wood tells "The Story of India", in a colourful series that tells India's dramatic story, featuring some of the greatest characters in history including: Buddha, Alexander the Great, Ghandi, and Nehru.
