Period TV drama they haven’t done yet - but you wish they would.

Or would you? After the other thread, I wondered whether a TV version of some of Barbara Pym’s novels would work well. My favourite is Crampton Hodnet - IMO very funny, but I think you’d have to have the central character, Jessie, talking to the camera now and then, which can be very effective. (E.g. in the original House of Cards.)

OTOH it have to be extremely well done - no jarring dialogue etc. (it’s set in pre WW2 North Oxford) or I’d probably hate it.

I would love to see a dramatisation of The Shellseekers by Rosamunde Pilcher. Don't know if it's ever been done, but I'm sure someone will know.

Trisher sorry, I meant Nathaniel Parker, not Nathaniel Hawthorne - I'm having a duh! moment. He of Inspector Lynley fame. I know this was out on DVD as I have a copy.

There are a number of YouTube videos about the making of 'Still Life', including one with Louise Penny.
