People In The Bbc Are Always Dying

The Bbc Fulfils A Wonderful Cultural Function. Maybe The Problem Is That It Feels It Needs To Be Everything To Everybody.

I'd Love To Adapt More Contemporary Novels. But There Isn't Really Enough Story And Character To Make A Really Satisfying Serial, So They Tend To Be Single Dramas.

Taking The Humour Out Of Dickens, It's Not Dickens Any More.

An Adaptation I Was Working On Of Trollope's 'the Pallisers' Has Been Axed By The Bbc... I Was Also Going To Do Dickens' 'dombey And Son' But They've Asked Me To Do 'david Copperfield' Instead.

I Prefer Love Scenes To Be Shot Up Close With A Lot Of Focus On Eyes And Mouths. Otherwise It Can Feel Uncomfortable And Voyeuristic.
