Intrigue at Scampston as An Inspector Calls...


It's an exciting weekend for us at Scampston, as well we hope for locals and regular visitors to the Hall and Gardens. On Sunday, the Hall is set to be in the spotlight as the backdrop to a new BBC adaptation of An Inspector Calls. 

The production which has an all-star cast, including David Thewlis as The Inspector, famous for his role as Professor Lupin in the Harry Potter films. He is joined by Ken Stott and Miranda Richardson who will play Arthur and Sybil Birling.

Filming took place in February and March last year in the Legard family home, with a number of scenes filmed in the dining room and on the Palladian Bridge. Tune in and see if you recognise any of the scenes filmed in nearby Malton, as well as the West Yorkshire town of Saltaire.

An Inspector Calls is a mysterious detective thriller, set in 1912 and written by English dramatist J.B Priestley. Set at a time when society was transforming and women's lives were about to change forever, An Inspector Calls is considered to be one of the classics of 20th century theatre.

Join is on the sofa at 8:30pm on Sunday, slippers on and hot chocolate in hand when An Inspecotr will be calling...
