AUGUST 2021 The Doctor is In (Wales) hen a sleepy 1960s Welsh mining town’s only doctor dies, the only replacement the union representative could find arrives, straight from India. Dr. Prem Sharma (Sanjeev Bhaskar, Yesterday; Unforgotten) is better educated and more cultured than anyone they know, friendly, and eager to help the community. However, his regal wife Kamini (Ayesha Dharker, Outsourced; Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones) would much prefer the lavish lifestyle of London. Without the dozen or so servants the couple had back in Delhi, Kamini has to figure out the kitchen… and as such is determined to leave the sleepy coal-mining town as soon as possible. WThe Indian Doctor interjects comedy with heavier themes like fitting in, overcoming prejudices and demonstrating courage in the face of possible ruin. Critics can’t stop themselves from binging the British drama. Paste Magazine notes, “it’s got a really good personality,” and comments on how the main characters are exceptionally charming: “Dharker is totally amazing—by turns snobbish and engaging, vivacious and resentful, steely and vulnerable. Bhaskar is a perfect foil, combining a relentless optimism with some deeply buried and potentially explosive inner pain.” The first season revolves around seemingly friendly colliery manager Richard Sharpe, and his dark secrets that were detailed in the deceased doctor’s diaries. With access to that evidence, Prem becomes determined to reveal the truth, as he and Kamini quickly become embroiled in the lives of the villagers. Can’t wait for the weekly release of each episode?
