The premise

Here’s the bit.

A safari-suited Englishwoman named Rose drops in on a Punjabi farming couple, gushing about their simple life while admitting she buys artefacts for a chain of British stores. Every piece of junk she points at becomes a treasured relic in the couple's telling, from a rusty pail and a broken table to a cartoon bedspread passed off as sacred weaving. Rose talks herself out of her own suspicions, insists on paying two thousand pounds, and leaves with a load of household rubbish, while the couple happily throw in some extra souvenirs she does not want to examine too closely.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

That was my great grandmother's birthing bucket.

It is a 200-year-old bullock slide.

It is amazing how our ancient gods look so much like the Power Rangers.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
