Rob Rinder And Rylan Clark’s Passage To India Premieres Sunday On BBC Two

Pre-launch interviews foreground a platonic partnership alongside personal revelations, using on-location mishaps to frame the new series.

Overview

  • BBC Two schedules the BAFTA-winning duo’s follow-up for Sunday 14 September at 9pm, with full episodes on iPlayer.
  • Rylan recalls landing in Delhi, suffering a mosquito bite and a hair-raising rickshaw ride that left him thinking he might die.
  • Both presenters confirm they argued during filming but stress they remain best friends and are not a couple, pushing back on romance speculation.
  • Rylan says he wants children and has a new partner, identified in reports as Kennedy Bates, a topic he has also discussed on his podcast.
  • The series follows E.M. Forster’s legacy through Delhi, Rajasthan, Varanasi and Khajuraho, exploring art about sex and death, featuring an astrologer visit later undermined by a wrong birth time and a £400 fake-tan courier mishap.
