BEECHAM HOUSE

TEN, 8.30pm

Since travelling to far-flung locations is off the cards for the time being, you can satisfy your wanderlust by investing in this lush period drama which not only takes place in India, but transports viewers back to 1795 – a key moment in the subcontinent’s history. Billed as “Downton Abbey in Delhi”, it follows the mysterious John Beecham (Tom Bateman, pictured), a rugged chap who used to be a soldier and a trader with the East India Company. He arrives at a grand estate hoping for a fresh start but his past is never far behind.
