Episode 2

Celebrities test whether retirement in India is better than in the UK. The group attend some local theatre performances, and there is also a look at overcoming health issues.

The gang continue to settle into Indian life and, for Amanda Barrie's birthday, attend some local theatre performances.

Unfortunately, a yoga session triggers Amanda's vertigo, but Kochi has one of the most advanced hospitals in the country.

Lionel Blair, who has also had health issues over the years, investigates Ayurveda, an alternative medicine, while Bill Oddie takes a wildlife trip into the jungle and reveals how exploring the natural world has helped with his mental health problems.

Finally, everyone sets off to visit one of India's most spectacular temples - but the journey involves a 13-hour overnight train and a very hairy taxi ride.
