I'm reading a series of novels about the Rev Merrily Watkins - sort of supernatural detective/thriller. Opened Radio Times for next week to see that they are starting to adapt them for tv. Weds 'Midwinter of the Spirit' on ITV. Really looking forward to it but with some trepidation. How will it match up with the pictures I have in my head? I've read about six of the books now and have a clear idea of what each character looks like. It's like when the BBC does a photo shoot of the cast in The Archers. Never works.
Many, many years ago, when the world was black and white, they did an adaption of my favourite book, Cold Comfort Farm and got every character spot on, especially the brilliant Alistair Simm. The more recent adaption was a total travesty
It's great to see a book come alive on screen but do others have the same niggles about the 'wrong' actors taking on the vision you have in your head?
