Indian Summers: episode-by-episode
A weekly recap of the Channel 4 drama
Indian Summers finale recap – farewell, Club Simla. We raise a glass to you
Alice saves Aafrin, Cynthia cashes out … and we finally get to witness the downfall of evil Mr Charlie. It’s a classy farewell from the show that piled high the feelgood factor – but never really made sense at all
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode nine – Groundhog Day in Simla
Charlie plays the secret psychopath, yet again, in the penultimate ever episode (sob!). Will he get his comeuppance? Fingers crossed for a blinding finish
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode eight – damn you Channel 4!
Just as the adventures of Simla gets axed, they pull it out of the bag. What an unbearably gripping heart-stopper
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode seven – Mahatma himself! How exciting
With Freudian rocking horse moments, an amorous maharajah and everyone in Simla proposing to Sooni, this was a completely exhausting episode. Forget the gin – we need opium to get through this
Indian Summers recap: episode six – enter the man with 10 heads
It’s the moment we’ve been building up to … the start of the two-man revolution, and blood will surely rain. Pass the gin
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode five – gobble, gobble, gobble
Some cracking moments this week, and proof that Julie Walters’ Cynthia should be named the the white-gloved empress of India
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode four – Fifty Shades of Aafrin
A strange episode with some Aafrin buttock action, a flouncy fashion show – and two shocking scenes that mean things might (finally) get interesting
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode three – is there anything that can save this show?
Pointlessly complex, unevenly paced, exhausting … after a couple of promising episodes, it’s back to business as usual in Simla
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode two – where's a bulletproof sari when you need one?
Sadly, we still seem to be playing catchup. Nothing’s quite taken off yet in the plot – except in the case of Kaira, who would seem to need a surgical miracle
Indian Summers recap: series two, episode one – toe-curlingly majestic
The plot holes may have scuppered the first series, but Indian Summers is back with more pace, more insurrection – and the obligatory hillside cocktails
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode 10 – a spy in the house of hate
The first season of the Channel 4 drama reaches its climax, and it is time for three central characters to face up to who they truly are
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode nine – trouble in paradise
As the drama heads towards its climax, it is getting darker than ever, with not even a sexily rose-petal-strewn shed able to hold back the gathering gloom
Indian Summers: season one, episode eight – silence in court, until Ian McLeod comes in
Ramu Sood’s murder trial is an opportunity to get the sandwiches in, or for his hardly ideal defence witness McLeod, the whisky
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode seven – the importance of being villainous
Between the amateur dramatics on stage and the murder mystery unfolding elsewhere, this series is seriously picking up the pace
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode six – what a humdinger!
Violence, racism and a spurious story about some mules – this one really had it all. Well done, all round!
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode five – it's party time!
An engagement is usually a time to celebrate but Ralph sees it more as an opportunity to divide and conquer by playing the Untouchables card
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode four – return of the Viceroy
Let’s swiftly pass over the opening obsession with naughty bits and get down to the real business of the day – men with impressive moustaches
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode three – power, politics and cake
Indian Summers’ energy was always going to come from agitation beyond the garden gates – and there are signs the unrest is now approaching a healthy roil
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode two – a cross-legged assassin
There’s a lot of immobility going around in the second episode of the subcontinental 1930s drama; but could they be a little less serious about it?
Indian Summers recap: season one, episode one - well-made drama unafraid to take its time
Channel 4’s most expensive ever drama has arrived to fill the Downton slot, packed with beautiful people doing naughty things in colonial India
