ON MASTERPIECE
Beginning Sunday, June 14 at 10 p.m.
This sumptuous new six-part drama is set in Dehli in
1795, amidst the clashing forces of British and French
militaries and the decline of the centuries-old Mughal
Empire. Enigmatic Englishman and former East India
Company solider John Beecham (Tom Bateman,
“Vanity Fair,” “Murder on the Orient Express”) has
purchased the magnificent mansion, determined to
reunite his family, but he carries a secret.
When Beecham arrives at his grand new Delhi estate
to great fanfare, the presence of a (mixed-race and
apparently motherless!) baby is more than just a sur-
prise to the staff — it’s a mystery that only deepens
as he falls for English governess Margaret Osbourne.
As his overbearing mother (“Downton Abbey’s” Lesley
Nicol, in a very un-Miss Patmore turn!) his rebellious
brother (Leo Suter, “Sanditon” and “Victoria”), and
even more complicated guests arrive, politics, passion,
ambition and revenge collide, all under the roof of
Beecham House.
Opulent homes, lush gardens, peacocks, monkeys, ele-
phants and even the Taj Mahal are just a few of the
authentic elements that bring this series, largely shot
on location in India, to magnificent life.
“ When Beecham arrives,
he brings with him his
infant son. The baby is more
than just a surprise to the
staff — it’s a mystery...”
