Synopsis
Raj society was based on a formal order of precedence, but behind the scenes there was a great deal of flirtation, fun, affairs and misdemeanours.
3: Pomp and Power | Lost World of the Raj
Set against the backdrop of British India from the 1920s to Independence in 1947, this third and last programme in the series tells, through personal memories and location filming, how one-fifth of the world's population was governed by a handful of British and how that balance was maintained.
1: Home from Home | Lost World of the Raj
The first episode recreates the era of the 1930s, when British expatriates attempted to create an idyllic version of English life in India. Using home movies (including the rediscovered family films of Mark Tully, former BBC Delhi correspondent) and interviews with people who lived it, a lost way of life is recreated.
