Who is Lorne Balfe? He created all the amazing music on the show.

String Theory?

Mat Fraser has had a varied career in show-business. He has been a musician, playwright, stage actor, podcaster, and television actor. He was born with phocomelia, which shortens a person’s limbs, caused by the use of thalidomide while his mother was pregnant.

The flood scene is from the prequel novel La Belle Sauvage.
