Tutankhamun (TV series)
Tutankhamun is a 2016 adventure-drama serial produced by ITV and Tall Story Pictures which is based on the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter, directed by Peter Webber from a screenplay by BAFTA award-winning writer Guy Burt.[1][2] Archaeologist Howard Carter (Max Irons) stumbles upon evidence of an undiscovered tomb of one of Egypt's forgotten Pharaohs, Tutankhamun.His peers, however, dismiss the idea, save for one man: the wealthy Lord Carnarvon (Sam Neill), a born gambler and thrill-seeker, who agrees to fund Carter's digs.The score was composed by Spitfire Audio co-founder Christian Henson, and was recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, London.[5] The Daily Telegraph also commented on the lack of historical accuracy of the series, which portrayed an affair between Carter and Lady Evelyn, the Telegraph quoting the 8th Earl of Carnarvon as saying "there was no romance, it just did not happen that way".
