你要是喜欢那种不装、不端着的旅行节目，《与苏·帕金斯一起畅游恒河》真得看一眼。它不是那种一本正经的纪录片，苏·帕金斯这大姐自带英式冷幽默，一路上净吐槽自己——比如坐船晕得七荤八素，或者被恒河的圣牛追得满街跑，特别接地气。你不用担心节目太煽情或者说教，它就是把恒河两岸的烟火气和背后的文化杂糅在一起，看着轻松又长见识。沿途没有滤镜加持的沿岸村落、拥挤的河坛，还有她与当地船夫、僧侣闲聊时那些突然的沉默或大笑，都让人感觉像跟着一个嘴硬心软的英国朋友在冒险。如果你喜欢《安东尼·波登：未知之旅》那种“边吃边聊”的松弛感，或者厌倦了宏大叙事，想看点接地气的异国烟火气，这部会正中下怀。她不当“大惊小怪的游客”——遇到圣河边的拥挤和脏乱，她会皱眉头但继续聊下去；在船上晃悠时自己先笑出声，那种英式自嘲让陌生环境变得亲切。

　　In this three-part series for BBC One, Sue will explore the lives of the people living close the river and the challenges facing India as it transforms into one the world's great economic powers. The Ganges is the story of modern India in one spectacular river.
　　Sue Perkins follows her journeys up the Mekong and through Kolkata with an epic travel series down the length of the Ganges, which is worshipped by Hindus as a living Goddess.  Sue will travel from the sacred source of the river, high in the Himalayas, through the industrial and agricultural heartlands of the Gangetic Plain and the ancient city of Varanasi, to the vast delta on the Bay of Bengal.
　　She will join pilgrims seeking to wash clean the sins of alifetime at the Ganges' source; work alongside fishermen and farmers in the Sunderbarns, who share their forests with man-eating tigers; and join some of the thousands of young women leaving rural villages and moving to the cities to find work and freedom.
　　Sue says: 「I've travelled the length of the Ganges, from the oxygen-starved peaks of the Himalayas to the vast delta in West Bengal, meeting a huge array of characters on the way. Expect cows on bridges, India's Most Energetic Monk, and me, in a dress. I can't wait for you to see it.」
