I Always Do Like To Write Love

I Adore Doing Classic Adaptations, But I Also Feel Their Frustrations And Their Limitations.

Novels Often Have Leisurely Openings; A Tv Drama Needs An Arresting Opening.

The Bbc Fulfils A Wonderful Cultural Function. Maybe The Problem Is That It Feels It Needs To Be Everything To Everybody.

An Adaptation I Was Working On Of Trollope's 'the Pallisers' Has Been Axed By The Bbc... I Was Also Going To Do Dickens' 'dombey And Son' But They've Asked Me To Do 'david Copperfield' Instead.

My Wife Likes History And Documentaries, But I'm Not So Keen On Them. I Generally Go And Do Some Work If There's One Of Those On.
