Needs to be done as a TV series. BBC, I'm looking at you.


I just finished listening to the adaptation of the novel on the radio, and it was so well done, although there were some changes made.

I think the pace of the novel would really suit a series rather than a film, as this film seemed too rushed for me - what is great about the book is the way the revelations come like slowly peeling off a bandage. It's horrible, but it's suspenseful.

I know the book gets a lot fo criticism from so-called history buffs, who seem to miss the point about it being a fictional alternate history, but I find is fascinating and I'd love to see it on the BBC.

As the BBC do not have the rights for the book, its unlikely to be made as mini series.

Its that man again!!
