From the team that created The Jewel in the Crown comes a gripping drama about culture clash and family loyalty in India in the 1950s. Peacock Spring tells the story of a forbidden romance between a fifteen-year-old English girl and an Indian boy whose youthful idealism is confronted by the hard reality of living with the disapproval of family and society. Filmed in India, the two-part series is adapted from the novel by bestselling writer Rumer Godden, and stars Peter Egan, Hattie Morahan, Laura Barneby, Naveen Andrews, and Jennifer Hall.
