Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shot entirely in England despite being set in South Africa and India — those 'African' landscapes are mostly Surrey.

Cultural

The 1.0 TMDB rating reflects near-total obscurity, not quality — this was prestige television before the term existed.
