Trailer for the BBC TV Drama 'Murdered by My Father' directed by BAFTA winning Director, Bruce Goodison and Chris Richmond Production Designer
BBC Three’s 75-minute television drama, Murdered By My Father is based on real evets and tells the powerful story of an 'honor killing' among the Pakistani community in London.
Set dressing for the Engagement scene in the BBC Drama 'Murdered by my father.'
The set was dressed with authentic pink and golds for the 2nd generation Pakistani Immigrants wedding which took place above a restaurant in Southwell, London, in the heart of the authentic London Pakistani Community.
The decision was made to build the interior bedroom sets of our two lead characters for a number of reasons: to facilitate a top shot travelling between the two bedrooms for a key scene. To allow an increase in size from the real council flat size to ease the shooting. To allow for a key scene where the father destroys his daughter's room in a fit of rage.
A rain rig was fitted to the exterior of the windows in the construction of the bedrooms to aid in the authenticity / believeablity of the Trans-Lite and also to increase the drama of the designated scene.
Nat Geo series ORIGINS
‘Working with Chris on Origins was both a pleasure and constant source of inspiration. We have to build 32 large sets, each differing wildly from WW1 trenches to 14th Century Chinese dynasties, and every one Chris created was absolutely stunning. His ability to know what all elements of the production need to create something amazing is really unmatched by any one else I have worked with. I hope we get to work lots more in the future’. Simon George. EMMY Award winning director / exec producer.

He has a distinct visual language, understanding of character, and an attention to detail I’ve never previously experienced with designers. An all-round pleasure to work with.” Luke Hyams (Director)
