Roses for Columbus in BBC/Netflix thriller ‘The Serpent’, April 2021

My song Roses for Columbus from ‘Dreaming With Alice’ was included in the BBC hit show The Serpent, first aired on Netflix in April 2021. A “dreamlike, sanguine opener to Episode 2“, it reflects the mood of Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg (played by the brilliant Billy Howle) as he wrestles with the mystery surrounding the disappearance of two young travellers in Thailand in the 1970s. The Serpent is inspired by the true story of serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who preyed on unsuspecting victims throughout Asia at the time. Chilling, and compelling.
