Meera Syal and Jennifer Saunders give standout performances in Audible's new pod drama, spoofing life in British-controlled India. Ineffectual governor Henry arrives in a rural province, "allergic to emotions", part of an unwieldy bureaucratic structure, and unwilling to acclimatise. As well as the lines you might see coming ("can't imagine the British ever going for Indian food!"), there is plenty you might not, in this tale of blustering Brits, and Syal's Rajmata side-eyeing and sticking it to the man.
