Episode 1 of 4

Britt Ekland, Duncan Bannatyne, Dame Zandra Rhodes, Paul Chuckle, Henry Blofeld, John Altman, Susie Blake and Barbara Dickson arrive in Puducherry and settle into their new home.

Britt Ekland, Duncan Bannatyne, Dame Zandra Rhodes, Paul Chuckle, Henry Blofeld, John Altman, Susie Blake and Barbara Dickson arrive in India and get their first taste of the chaotic traffic on the bus to Puducherry and their new home by the sea. Although Britt struggles with the heat and Paul is struck down with an upset stomach, the group throw themselves into their new surroundings ready to embrace retired life in India.

Keen to see what the region has to offer, the senior citizens embrace everything within the local vicinity, including an early morning trip to the beach for a dip in the Indian Ocean, a visit to a traditional coffee house and a trip to Puducherry’s vibrant and colourful Goubert market. Whilst yoga enthusiast Duncan wastes no time immersing himself into the local way of life, he encourages John to join him as they embrace this ancient Indian practice together.

Susie and Henry decide to visit an Ayurvedic doctor to see if he can help with the aches and pains of old age. Susie is impressed with the doctor’s healing hands, and shocked at his precise diagnosis when he reveals more than expected.
