02:14Sanjeev Austin.
02:16Rickshaw test pilot.
02:17A man barely alive.
02:19We can rebuild him.
02:20We have the power.
02:22We have the capability.
02:23We don't have the ideal exchange rate.
02:25Yes.
02:26Sanjeev Austin is the six million rupee man.
02:36Oscar.
02:37Sanjeev.
02:39You rebuilt me.
02:41Yeah.
02:42At a cost of six million rupees.
02:45It's only $150,000.
02:47Possibly more on the black market.
02:49So, um, faster, stronger, better than I was before, huh?
02:53Well, no.
02:55What's my first mission?
02:56Sanjeev Austin, your first mission is to buy some groceries.
03:07I'd like some sugar, please.
03:09I'm afraid we don't have any.
03:16Yes, you do.
03:17Behind you on the shelf.
03:22Wow.
03:23How did you see that?
03:25My bionic eye enables me to see objects.
03:32Would you like a bag?
03:35No, thanks.
03:36My bionic arm enables me to carry small items of shopping.
03:57Sanjeev Austin, you have successfully completed your first mission.
04:01This tea tastes much better with sugar.
04:04Yeah, that's great, Oscar.
04:06Where are those little plastic stirrers we used to have?
04:08You're standing on them, big guy.
04:10You mean they're under my feet?
04:11No, you made your legs out of them.

05:26Well, you're a good boy.
05:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:29I've never had any girlfriends.
05:32Because you're waiting for the right girl to come along.

07:04What is it?
07:04What is it?
07:05You know how you're always on at me to get you a pet?

07:09Look at that.
07:10Dogs.
07:11Dogs.
07:11No.
07:12No.
07:12You see, dogs are very dirty animals.
07:14They smell.
07:15They leave their hair all over the place.
07:17You know?
07:17And also, they do their toilet on the carpet.
07:19And also, Hindus don't really keep dogs.
07:21It's the cat.
07:23No, no, no.
07:24You see, cats are also very dirty animals.
07:26They do their toilet on a tray in the kitchen.
07:30Come with me.

08:02Bash.
08:02I know what you're going to say.
08:04But cows are very clean animals.
08:05They do their toilet outside.
08:08They give milk.
08:09They till the land.
08:10They're very loyal.
08:11Come on, Stoker.

12:32Bunty's been my lover now for six long years

14:09I wish he was dead
14:10This can't be true
14:12He lied to me

15:13Yes, yeah
15:14Excellent, that's great
15:15Listen, sit down
15:16Thanks
15:18Okay, now as you know
15:19Your character is a traditional Indian girl
15:23Who's been beaten up by her father and six brothers
15:26For running away from home
15:28And she's ended up as a sort of drug abusing prostitute
15:32Living on the streets
15:33And having to sort of fend for herself
15:36Now it's set in Glasgow
15:38So what I'm looking for really
15:39Is a broad Scottish accent
15:41With just a trace of Indian in there, yeah?
15:45I'll try
15:46Listen, that's great
15:48I'll tell you what
15:49I'll read in Keith
15:50That's her pimp
15:51And you could
15:52If you wouldn't mind reading in
15:55Nazneen
15:56Nazneen Suleiman
15:58Nazneen Suleiman
15:59Sorry
16:00That's all right
16:00Okay
16:01Right, let's give it a whirl
16:03Show
16:07So you little bitch
16:08Thought you could get away with ripping me off, did you?
16:11Well, no one does that to me
16:21That's great
16:22That's great
16:22Thanks for having me
16:30Please, please
16:31You've embarrassed me enough for one second
16:32Take that in the garden
16:33Okay
16:36Oh my God
16:37Oh God, what's happened?
16:39We've been burgled
16:40But I thought all the windows and doors were locked
16:43They were
16:43Well, how did they get in then?
16:46Maybe through the go flap
16:47I don't say
16:52Go flap
16:54Go flap
16:57You mean like a cat flap
16:59Yes
17:03So hard enough for a cow
17:05Obviously
17:08And smaller things
17:10Like TVs, fridges
17:14And that
17:15And you know
17:16The average size of a cow
17:17Of all the stupid
17:19What possessed you
17:20To put in a bloody cow flap?
17:22Look, right
17:23I thought it'd be easier for the cow
17:24If she could come and go as she pleased
17:26You know, for her toilet and so forth
17:27Oh God, I knew this was a bad idea
17:28Why have I got such a buddhu for a husband?
17:31You'll upset Daisy
17:32Look at her
17:32She's upset already
17:37Oh my God
18:11What the hell's keeping them?
18:12We're lucky to have got a kidney at all
18:15Right, come on people
18:16Let's go
18:18Don't touch that
18:23Hello, Uncle
18:24If you wanted a kidney
18:26Why didn't you come to me?
18:27Oh, that's true
18:28I could have got you much deeper

19:25She's the richest woman in the world, man

19:27Man, that is because
19:29Right, chat shows
19:29Are massively popular
19:31But do you know what?
19:32Is it because of the
19:33Manalian angst caused by the
19:35Disillusion of the
19:36Commonly held value system, innit?
19:41No, you bendu
19:44It is because, right?

20:18I feel better already, you know.
20:20Man, Oprah can do that.
20:21She can make the audience relate to each other.
20:24That's why she's the best, man.
20:26Better than Ricky Lake?
20:27Easy.
20:29Better than Montel?
20:30Yeah, no problem.
20:32Esther?
20:34Even Esther, man.
20:36Oh.
20:39Who do you think, right, would win in a fight?

22:26Hi, Mijan the Divine here.
22:28Welcome to another edition of India's favourite travelling programme, Backpacks.
22:33The show where I follow the travellers as they leave their rat race behind in search of action, adventure and
22:42spiritual awakening.
22:43And on this week's show, we have a group of Delhi students who have taken a year off to go
22:47travelling round the UK.
23:01Well, here we are, here in England.
23:04A couple of hours in and already we're experiencing major differences in culture.
23:10The English train system is a bit primitive. I mean, you never know how long you have to wait.
23:14Yeah, some journeys can take days.
23:17See, what you have to understand is that the pace of life here is much slower.
23:21More relaxed, huh?
23:22No, just slower.
23:23So, what is the most famous garden in the world?
23:26Yes, London's famous convent garden.
23:30You've been here a few days now.
23:32How are you getting on?
23:34Oh, it's fab.
23:35I love it, man.
23:36Me too.
23:37Well, apart from the beggars, that is.
23:39Oh, yeah.
23:40I mean, people did warn us that begging in England was pretty bad, you know, but we never expected anything
23:46like this.
23:47It's really difficult, you know, because you feel you ought to try and help.
23:50Yeah, but there's so many of them, you know, and if you give to one, you have to give to
23:53them all.
23:56Here we are, the local bazaar, where your ordinary housewife comes and does her shopping.
24:04The food here is very different from what we're used to.
24:07I would advise people not to buy from street vendors.
24:09It's not safe.
24:10Avoid the meat completely, you know, the meat is really too quiet.
24:15And if you want water, you have to have bottled water.
24:17They are the same everywhere in Europe.
24:21The girls have been doing a bit of shopping.
24:23How are you doing, lady?
24:25Oh, my God.
24:26I think we're doing okay.
24:28The thing is to try and not look like a tourist, right?
24:30Otherwise, they just try and rip you off.
24:32I know.
24:33Oh, Mira, look at this.
24:34I must have one.
24:35Okay, give me a hand with this.
24:36Okay.
24:38Excuse me.
24:40How much is this?
24:42It's 30 pence, now.
24:43Oh, come on.
24:44Don't charge us tourist prices.
24:46How much would you charge a local?
24:48It's 30 pence, love.
24:50He's just trying it on, yeah.
24:51Look, I'll give you 20 pence for it.
24:53That's all we've got.
24:54Listen, evening standard's 30 pence.
24:58It's quiet, tranquil, spiritual.
25:03You know, I think there's something almost religious about these places.
25:08I have gathered that you have undergone a bit of a conversion.
25:12Yes.
25:14I've become C of E.
25:15I don't know what you're thinking.
25:17But it's more than a religion.
25:19It's a way of life.
25:23It seems to me that you found your feet.
25:25What advice would you give other travelers doing the UK?
25:27Well, make sure you've had your jabs, damn it.
25:29I've had a runny nose since day one.
25:31Oh, come on, Lord.
25:32You can't come to England and not expect to get the flu.
25:34I think what I would warn other women about is the men.
25:39Oh, yeah, definitely, yeah.
25:40The attitude towards women is really bad.
25:42Yeah?
25:42I mean, everywhere we go, they just stare at us, right?
25:45I think they assume because we're Indian, we're some sort of Kamasutra Asian babes.
25:50I think they seem like they're just not used to seeing foreigners.
25:53Oh, come on, Lord.
25:54We've gone out of our way to blend in.
25:57For the last few weeks, you have been all over the UK.
26:01What have been the highlights of your visit?
26:03Stratford-upon-Avon was my favorite.
26:05Hmm, what about Oxford?
26:08Oh, I loved Oxford.
26:09Yeah, these places are all really nice, huh?
26:11But to see the real England, you have to go to the villages.
26:14Yeah.
26:14I spent a week traveling around a place called Surrey,
26:17and it was a different world, absolutely.
26:20I found a small village called Guildford.
26:22Do you remember something?
26:23There were some people there who've never even seen a brown face.
26:27Well, here we are.
26:29It's our last day, and we're going to the airport.
26:33Listen, guys, I'm not coming back with you.
26:36Dad, I just feel that this is my spiritual home.
26:39Yes, in what way?
26:41Well, I met a group of travelers that came in the 60s, you know,
26:44and they kind of just stayed and formed their own subsistence community.
26:48I will stay with them.
26:49Yes, but will you be happy?
26:50Oh, I mean, just look at this place.
26:52I mean, who wouldn't be happy here?
26:55There's no pressures of home, no universities,
26:58no looking for a good job, no parents.
27:01It's like paradise.
27:05Thank you very much.
27:37Right, so what are you going to be cooking for us today?
27:39Foygrass, chili con carne, beef wellington, lobster thermidor, pizza, baked Alaska, ruffles and cheese.
27:49Well that sounds really fantastic.
27:51Can we look at your ingredients?
