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.
