Over 200 complaints for Channel 4's 'Indian Winter'

Majority criticised 'Gordon’s Great Escape' series featuring chef Gordon Ramsay's trip to India, with others unhappy with the season focusing on slums rather than India’s wider culture and heritage. The three-part series called 'Gordon’s Great Escape', which was aired as a part of Channel 4's popular 'Indian Winter' season, was the second-most complained about show last month, with 162 viewers contacting Channel 4. Their complaints centered on Ramsay’s language and brusqueness in speaking with the "mild-mannered" and "gentle" people he met, in the words of one complainant. Another 30 viewers took issue with what one person perceived as McCloud’s "complete lack of understanding, manners, sensitivity and tact" in his series Kevin McCloud: Slumming It. The channel received a further 20 complaints for the season portraying India with just slums and not on any of its landmarks. However, 21 viewers contacted to C4 to praise McCloud’s series and another 14 rated Ramsay’s programme. Related link: | |

Oh surprise surprise, Channel 4 has jumped on the BBC's 'lets make India look bad' Bandwagon, next they'll give a show to the guy from Tigerstyle so he can preach his extremist Sikh/Khalistani views!
Im not surprised the Indian Winter season was packed full of negativity, its just like what BBC Asian Network does day in day out: take any opportunity to put out negative press about India and be heavily biased towards anything seen as being on the 'opposing side' to India.

Agreed.
India-bashing dressed up as hard-hitting documentary.
But then what do you expect from a channel which has made celebrities out of an average Indian Family.
oh look...it's the family! pass the bucket.
