INFORMATIVE
By a customer from Solihull , 10 Apr 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
An informative and insightful series. None of the gimmicks used to appeal to the lowest common denominator.Sit with the children and watch and learn.Done by a professional,not the usual pseudo-presenters.(just because they have won some low brow contest/show etc)- Was this review helpful to you?

(14)Fantastic journey through Indian history...
By Tomosan (41 reviews) from Hindhead , 13 Aug 2012There have been several 'journey through India' type series on British television; this is one of the better ones. Not a travelogue, but a journey through India's history and culture over the ages. Michael Wood does a great job of presenting this series which features parts of india that the cameras don't often go. Well worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Top Class Production
By Antoinette71 (7 reviews) from Edinburgh , 04 Feb 2012A top class production in film with wonderful camera work and unlike most documentaries this isn't spoilt by over the top distracting music. I wouldn't recommend it if you're only wanting to watch this as a 'travel show' as this is really about the history of India with scenes of ancient monuments, rituals and the beginnings of religions and cultures. You need to really listen to follow it as it's quite in depth but Micheal Wood is very watchable as he shows a genuine interest and intelligence about the subject.- Was this review helpful to you?

Highly Recommended
By a customer , 14 Nov 2011Really fascinating viewing, well presented and informative. I thought the presenter had a real enthusiasm for his subject. I'm taking my first trip to India next year and love to research my trips beforehand. Watching this has given me a great deal of background historical, social and religious information. Only lost half a star because, as frequently, disc quality was not good, first copy wouldn't play, second copy did 'skip' in parts.- Was this review helpful to you?

Love India
By Philo1 (1 review) , 09 Jun 2011A wondeful incite into the complexities of India and it's nuances.
i had many questions after watching the series and have found the book accompanying it a marvelous read and very detailed especially with regards to the earliest tribes and settlers.
Michael Wood's narrative has inspired me to read more....- Was this review helpful to you?

I so wanted to like this...
By a customer from The Cotswolds , 18 Feb 2010... but I didn't. Quite simply, it was just boring. Somehow, even with all the beautiful scenery and fascinating people, the presenter just didn't have the charisma to draw me in. It was like being in school and being made to sit through a dull science video. Shame.- Was this review helpful to you?
