  • Indian programme mid afternoon on Sunday.

    Back around the early 1990s there used to be an Indian programme on Sundays, it was a drama I think. I think also that it was subtitled, very traditional looking with cannons, big moustaches and sabres. Its was that time of day where there was nothing else to do and nothing on.

    I remember one specific scene where they caught a bad man, or he had dishonoured somebody or something but he had to pay the price! That was to be strapped to the front of a cannon and blown-up. In a puff of smoke there was nothing left but some rags, this is mid afternoon stuff.

    Anybody else remember that Indian thing?

      Brilliant, I've been searching for ages. Don't forget to let me know, as soon as you do.

      Thanks.

            Fantastic, that looks like it!

            A gold star for anybody who can tell me what episode the cannon penalty was?

              When I saw this thread I thought of 'The Sword Of Tipu Sultan' series. Can anybody remember watching this in the 90's? Like Mahabharat, I think it was shown on Sundays.

                  Oh i hated it. The Colonial Soldiers looked awful, they just used Asian actors and painted them white...one time I remember some old bloke/King had been impaled on multiple arrows and had fallen over onto his back and all the arrows held him above the ground, the arrows and their quills were so thick and solid....he had his mates around him probably his Sons and he just droned on and on and on and on and on....lol. Before finally karking it. lol

                    That's no worse than painting a white guy brown in It Ain't Half Hot Mum, is it not?
