Beecham House (Masterpiece)

Delhi, 1795: Having disgustedly resigned his commission with the East India Company, Britisher John Beecham (Tom Bateman) returned to his family’s palatial estate, determined to establish independent--and fair--commerce with the community. The inevitable pitfalls and clashes with his old-world clan, and the culture writ large, fuel this intriguing historical drama from Gurinder Chadha. Lesley Nicol, Marc Warren, Dakota Blue Richards, Lara Dutta, Grégory Fitoussi co-star. 4 1/2 hrs. on two discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
