Caroline Quentin will take viewers on an epic journey through India for a brand new ITV1 series. Produced by Tiger Aspect, the 3x60 documentary Caroline Quentin: A Passage through India will provide a deeply personal insight into one of the world's most remarkable and diverse countries though the eyes of one of our best loved stars. Starting in the far north, and working her way over 3500 miles to its southernmost tip, Caroline's eye-opening adventure aims to discover the rich spectrum of modern Indian life as well as challenge preconceptions, including her own, of the subcontinent. And to do that Caroline will plunge headlong into Indian society at every level: from Maharajas to mahouts, staying with local families en route. Caroline will experience India's remarkable contrasts, from expansive, breathtaking landscapes such as Kanha National Park to dense, humid metropolises including Kolcutta and Mumbai, which encompass the extremes of wealth and often desperate poverty in close proximity. Taking in everything from ancient treasures to the high tech modernity of this self-styled 21st century Tiger state, the scale of her journey is immense. With Caroline at the helm the series will tell a human story as she connects with the lives of the ordinary Indians she meets along the way in order to explore what - in this country of incredible, often incongruous diversity - modern India really is and what its future holds.
