I Would Love It If Anyone Gave

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.

When You See Two Writers Named On A Movie, One Of Them Did Some Drafts And Got The Boot.

I'm Glad Nobody Has Asked Me To Adapt 'wuthering Heights' Because I Think I Would Make A Mess Of It. Everybody Makes A Mess Of It. I Think The Bronte Sisters Are Mad.

I Got Quite Cross When I Heard About Emma Thompson Adapting 'sense And Sensibility.' It Was Absolutely Childish Of Me, But I Thought, 'i Should Be Doing That. They Didn't Even Ask Me.' Some Mistake, Surely.

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