A Hero - Malgudi Days - English - Episode 1

This was the first episode of Malgudi Days that I watched way back in the 1980s (or was it the early 90s?). It was shown on Singapore's Channel 12, which featured the artier shows - music, literature, etc. Because I loved this so much I watched Malgudi Days till the end of its run. But I never saw an episode which I loved as much as this.

My favourite character is his grandmother. Watch how she crushes the unreasonable father by the end of the episode.

"I have only one grandson. If anything happens to him..."

Pure genius.
