Talk:The Hundred-Foot Journey

Based on the 2004 Channel 4 documentary?
Was this novel based on the 2004 Channel 4 documentary, A Place in France: An Indian Summer? It certainly seems very similar in theme: small French village with an Indian restaurant opening up in it; local friction ensues..

refs:
 * A Place in France: An Indian Summer IMDB
 * Nigel Farrell's tie-in book

It all seems terribly familiar and I wonder of the author has said this was an influence? It certainly seems it must have been. 81.154.143.18 (talk) 20:39, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
