BLACK Narcissus is a new BBC remake telling the story of repressed nuns working in a convent in the Himalayan mountains.

Black Narcissus is set in the fictional colonial Himalayan town of Mopu, a village high up in the Himalayan Mountains.
Unlike the original 1946 movie, which was all filmed on a UK set using elaborate painted backdrops, the new BBC adaptation was actually filmed on location in Nepal.
