Hardeep Singh Kohli meets British Indians who have left the UK for a new life in India.

In this two-part series, Hardeep visits the busy centres of Bangalore and Mumbai and tracks down some of those who have decided to change their lives and make a go of it in India.

In the first programme Hardeep is in Bangalore – centre for IT, finance and outsourcing – where he meets Nina Bual. She arrived in India on a one-way ticket having become fed up with her PR job in London. Now she is a successful entrepreneur running four spas. The second returnee, Shashi Halai, decided on an unlikely venture – to open a French patisserie with his French wife. And Hardeep also meets Rajiv Sagar, whose wife gave up her UK job when they moved with their two children to one of Bangalore's prestige gated communities.

Lenny Henry returns as irreverent police chaplain Jake Thorne

Lenny Henry returns to BBC Radio 4 as irreverent police chaplain Jake Thorne in a new series of Peter Jukes's acclaimed drama Bad Faith.

In this first episode, Unoriginal Sin, Jake is on secondment to a new police force.

After the death of his father and the breakdown of his marriage, Jake needed to get away from home, so accepted his old friend Sufiq Khan's invitation to come on secondment as police chaplain to Khan's West Yorkshire division.

Jake arrives in his new posting the week before Christmas with a mission to clean up a rough division, but he is immediately plunged into the question of original sin as an 11-year-old is investigated for murder.
