Showing Jan being a bit more human, I feel bad now!

I think its really interesting showing all their health worries and how they would be attended to.

I dont mind Miriam or Rosemary, I think they're very honest.

Fed up with then moaning about the fact they've not kept themselves in good health. Only got themselves to blame.

I'm enjoying this programme. I'm finding all the participants likable which isn't something I often say. Love how they're throwing themselves into it. I want to retire to India right now but alas have 20+ yrs to wait.

Which is what they've all admitted at some point.

That guru that Jan went to clearly got most of his 'insights' from Jan's wiki page.

It was amazing how the psychic knew all about Jan. You'd almost think he'd read her Wiki page, or her web site, or her autobiography...

Thoroughly enjoyed it again tonight. They are all growing on me - I think its mostly their honesty. Although they are a mixed bunch they all seem to share the same 'just get on with it' attitude. I like the way they look after each other too.
I really didn't like the look of the train, although it's nice to be able to sleep on them.
It is proving to be a very interesting programme.

I've disliked Jan for years, having been a menial female assistant in her career path. Despite my dislike I felt sorry for her tonight.

What's the point of Boullaye? Whyever was she included?

I love how honest this show seems, like we're actually getting real insights into these people.

I know someone who a random guru type person came up to them in the street when they were on holidays and told them there mother's name, this person was 70 so their mother died years ago and her name was not a common name. It was rather bizarre.

I thought I heard the driver say that he'd told the Guru about her

They're all so honest. I never knew Rosemary was married, or any of the things Jan spoke about.

Felt for Roy Walker too. Got the impression his late wife was his soul mate.

Miriam is outrageously vulgar!

This is definitely my favourite programme of the week.

There is a class of travel that is more basic than the 3rd AC class shown. Depending on the type of train there are at least two more expensive classes than those shown as well.

The cost on this route of the most expensive class is ₹1215 and the cheapest ₹165. Divide by 100 for the approximate cost in £.

We once caught the train from Agra to Jaipur, we were told that the train would only stop for 3 minutes and to get on quickly, when it arrived it was full of fat Americans getting off very slowly, my wife got on but when I tried to push past the yanks they were very rude and I nearly missed the train.

I actually can't dislike any of the celebrities. Interesting to hear about the tough times they've had. I really feel for Jan and she seems to be lacking in confidence. I hope Rosemary manages to lose weight.

I thought it was Miriam!

I don't dislike any of the celebs, but I do wish Jan would stop saying she's been on her own for the past 12 years........ we got the message after about the 10th time of her saying it!!!!

As for the programme, I find it really interesting. I know some people - Brits - who live not far from Jaipur and they absolutely love it, especially the people.

Really enjoying this and getting to know their characters and of course India.

Don't know if this has already been said - can't help thinking that the guru who Jan visited must have googled her to get the necessary information - I was amazed that she believed him - unless of course off camera she said otherwise.
