BBC Commission – Drawings for ‘Mapp and Lucia’
I was commissioned to create a series of life drawings for a prop sketchbook for the BBC’s 2015 version of ‘Mapp and Lucia’, a classic costume drama set in the 1930’s after the comic novels by EF Benson. The show starred Anna Chancellor as Lucia, Miranda Richardson as Mapp and Harish Patel as the Guru.
