Re: Beacham House
Seen the first two episodes, now.It's very good, isn't it?
Beautiful setting, and an interesting historical subject.
I didn't know much about the East India Company until I watched the "Taboo" serial, ( last year, was it?), which was an eye-opener, so this is a good follow-on from that.
Also nice to see a series about someone with a conscience. So many films, series, etc. dwell on the nastier aspects of people, so it's a refreshing change from all that.

It's good to keep us guessing for a bit, anyway!
It's so unusual, though, that I will forgive any directing shortcomings that there might be!
Talking about Indian dramas, does anyone remember The Far Pavilions, many years ago?
Starring Ben .Cross and a monumental cast..... (1984! Crumbs!)

I really enjoyed that at the time.
The other big one, of course, was The Jewel in the Crown.
I wish they would repeat that.

I certainly agree with that description, Muddy.
Don't really get the story yet though.
