Tom Bateman on ITV’s new drama exploring passionate secrets and political tensions in 18th-century Delhi.
London’s Ealing Studios have been transformed into 18th-century Delhi as TV&Satellite Week steps into the stunning courtyard of an Indian mansion adorned with a fountain, statues and a huge tree with a shrine at its base.
We’re on set for a look at ITV’s ambitious new period drama Beecham House, penned and directed by Bend It Like Beckham writer/director Gurinder Chadha.
The vibrant six-part series is set in Delhi in 1795 and centres on enigmatic John Beecham, played by Vanity Fair star Tom Bateman. John is a former soldier who left the powerful British East India Company in disgust at their ruthless trading practices.
