An above average soap opera version of The Jewel In The Crown, the first installment in telling how the Indian nation got its independence from the British Raj (1858–1947.) Central figures were the Machiavelian British socialites and the brooding Indian subjects in one Summer at Simla. Thoroughly enjoyed this picturesque period epic though filmed in Penang, Malaysia which was once occupied by the East Indian Company as well. (They did a good job to exclude its infamous monkeys that roam freely in troops all over Penang Hill.)
