"I went there years ago as well as got extremely influenced, so it felt like the right time to come back to that inspiration." Unsurprisingly, possibly, one of Packham's starting points was Cleopatra-- whether depictions of the wonderful Egyptian queen coming from her very own opportunity, or her popular analysis by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 smash hit contrary Richard Burton.
