Beecham House

I adore the sets and filming, the cast is good, the plot is spot on so why cram this into a conveyor-belt soap opera and shoe-horn it into 6 episodes?? It has all the ingredients but is farcical in the situations it covers in each episode. I guess this is typical grab the audience within a period of short space of time or face having the next series cut! Sad that business comes before art, as this is fine art reduced to a comical parody. So disappointed!

Take it on face value, it's a bit of exotic escapism, full of color, gold, silks, opium, elephants, music, beautiful people, what more could you possibly want?

I'm a fan of the British period dramas and so far I am enjoying this one. I'm interested to see the characters develop and the storyline address the mysteriousness of the Beecham House. I am a fan of Gurinder Chadha's Bend it like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice so perhaps that's one the reasons I'm enjoying this show.

Thoroughly enjoyable, a glimpse into a time/era leading to eng/indi imperialism that does not become enmeshed in the politics but stays true to its character's experiences...want a season 2!

I have absolutely loved Beecham House from the first episode. The costumes, sets, actors, the storyline. I can't wait for the next episode and tonight is the finally. To the person who criticised, the British in India, I agree there were a lot of bad British people, but there were some good ones. Indians are not all saints either. My late mother was treated very kindly by an English doctor, back in India, when everyone turned their backs on her. This kind man treated her for free and saved her life, and charged her no money, treated her like a daughter. There are good and bad people in every race!!!
