Black Narcissus came to a dramatic conclusion last night, with women-shaming, frissons of lust and a shocking bell tower plunge colliding in the final episode of the three-part BBC adaptation.

The series, based on Rumer Godden’s 1939 novel and the classic 1947 film, follows a group of nuns who travel to the Himalayan palace of Mopu in Nepal to set up a school.

With the handsome Mr Dean (Alessandro Nivola) in the mix, repressed desires soon float to the surface, especially amid convent leader Sister Clodagh (Gemma Arterton) and the embittered Sister Ruth (Game Of Thrones’ Aisling Franciosi).
