Starring Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson as Lord and Lady Mountbatten, the story unfolds within the great House. Upstairs lived Mountbatten, together with his wife and daughter, while downstairs lived their 500 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants. As the political elite – Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi – converge on the house to wrangle over the birth of independent India, conflict erupts.
