Channel 5 is sending Alexander Armstrong on a new adventure, this time to India. The three-part series, Alexander Armstrong In India, produced by Burning Bright Productions, follows his previous successful shows in Iceland, South Korea, and Sri Lanka. The show will air later this year.
Here’s the Lowdown: Armstrong will travel across India, visiting major cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. He’ll explore how India, with the world’s largest population (1.4 billion), is rapidly becoming a global superpower, 77 years after gaining independence.
What This Means Now: The series provides a timely look at India’s evolution, focusing on its people, traditions, and aspirations. It aims to show how India is balancing its rich history with rapid modernization.
The Bigger Picture: From Delhi’s crowded streets to Jaipur’s historic architecture, Mumbai’s financial power, and Bengaluru’s tech boom (often called India’s “Silicon Valley”), Armstrong will present a wide-ranging portrait of a nation on the rise. The show, by exploring both history and the contemporary, seeks to offer a different angle on a nation changing quickly. The show seeks to explain how India is changing through its people. Filming starts later this year with the show airing on 5, also later this year.
