Welsh independent production company has won a 91¸£ÀûÉç commission for a daytime drama as part of a series to celebrate the Swinging Sixties.
The Indian Doctor (working title) will star Sanjeev Bhaskar and tell the story of Dr Prem Patel, one of the thousands of doctors who moved from the Indian Sub-Continent to the UK - and in this case the Rhondda in south Wales - to begin new lives.
It is the first network drama commission for Rondo, which has offices in Cardiff, Menai Bridge and Caernarfon. Set to be a five part series, it is likely to be screened in the autumn.
