Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape S01 E01

Gordon's odyssey begins in the north, home of our curry house classics. On board an express train he's thrown in at the deep end and experiences a back-to-basics baptism of fire, cooking for its many passengers in the train's cramped pantry car and getting travel sick while he's making curry. In stark contrast he then meets his match working for a cantankerous royal chef, preparing a biryani with a difference for a huge wedding feast before venturing into the jungle where he gets eaten alive by ants when he scales a 40-foot tree in search of the local tribe's favourite delicacy. Then it's on to Delhi to cook at the restaurant that invented tandoori chicken, where Gordon puts into practice everything he's learnt for a tough crowd of Delhi food critics.
