I’m amazed it’s taken them so long… You can see them all the way down the A1 and M1 from Harrogate, Leeds and Boston Spa down to pretty much Peterborough…

Since we’re allowing series, and being flexible about “literature”… Peter O’Donnell’s hugely entertaining Modesty Blaise novels, done with the period vibes of the ITV Ipcress File and the widescreen scope of The Night Manager. No, I’m not going to venture who should play Modesty and Willie Garvin…

A lot to say about the nature of “translation” as well: in some cases it’s more akin to Eric Thompson “translating” the Magic Roundabout scripts. I hope there’s a good oral history archive of Bell and Hockridge, otherwise, at the risk of privileging the author function, it seems about a decade late
