Lots of fun with Michael Waldman and Rupert Everett looking at the life of the British explorer Sir Richard Burton. Locations where in India, Egypt and the UK. Filming romantic sunset cruises along the Nile, as well as a far less romantic cockroach infested Hamman in Cairo. We also had a fascinating insight in to the world of the Hijra in India, then travelled down to Goa where Rupert flirted outrageously with group of nuns in a convent before persuaded them to sing ‘How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria’. London included Burton’s final resting place, an enormous tomb at Mortlake, built in the shape of a Bedouin tent. A Blast Films production.
