What tv series would you like to commission?

[Monestera]

I'd like to see a faithful rendering of The Little Princess and series based on the life of Maya Angelou and the life and times of Eleanor of Aquitaine.

I'd like to see the Miss Silver books by Patricia Wentworth made into a lovely period series for the 8pm Sunday night slot.

Also Antonia Hodgson's Thomas Hawkins books would be great if done well.

@PaperMonster

I’d just like Colin’s Sandwich to be recommissioned. It was awesome.

OMG, I'd forgotten that amazing series. Yes, this. Bring it back.

I think it might be time for a new Peter Wimsey series as well.

Rivers of London

Yes please (I always see Peter as the actor who played Grey Worm in Game of Thrones and Nightingale as a younger Al Pacino)

CSI - Convenient Shag Island

Single folk are gathered together in a luxury villa to have a great time on holiday. They form 'relationships' based on short term sexual attraction without the need to pretend they are in 'lurve' or that they have any expectation of becoming a long lasting couple....

Ooh, great ideas! Yes to Shardlake, Rivers of London and The Dark is Rising (done properly).

I’d add anything by Diana Wynne Jones (I loved Archer’s Goon but would to see a Chrestomanci story) and anything by Robin Hobbs. I liked the Maureen Lipman version of A Little Princess so I’ll stick with that one.

Chalet School.

Call the Midwife set earlier in the Nuns history... young Sister MJ and Sister Evangelina.

I came on here to say "Miss Silver" but 22:52TheYearOfSmallThings got there first! They could go to town on the costumes. Same kind of thing with "A man of some repute" Elizabeth Edmunson. I'd like "The Unicorn Crisis" by Jon Rosenburg. Magical and crime! Anything by Terry Pratchett. Michael Bonds "Monsieur Pamplemoose" French food critic and his blood hound. "The Paper Magician" by Charlie N Holmberg. All the Mary Wesley novels too please.

Oh yes, The Dark is Rising - not that terrible hash of it they made the movie out of.

I'd happily watch the Rivers of London.

I'd also love to see the Chronicles of St Mary's made into a film/series but would worry too much that it wouldn't be right and would spoil things!

A follow up to "darling buds of may". Set in early 80s, elderly ma and pop and all The grandkids

@Hawdyerwheesht

Georgette Heyer novels

Absolutely! I'm so sad that the proposed adaptation of The Grand Sophy (with Stephen Fry) didn't happen

A series for children about important women through history.

Elisabeth Kyle wrote a series called girl with a ...
Pen
Lantern,
Song etc
These could work

A series about young poirot in the belgian police 1880s, and possibly a spinoff which explains how the hell Hastings made the rank of captain.

Fall of eagles redone as well.

Mike careys felix castor books done as a series. Must search up rivers of London, looks up my street.

Yes @BrozTito. I tried watching the original on YouTube but it's quite dated and stagey. Patrick Stewart as Lenin was inspired casting though!

The Dark Tower. The film was shite.

Some of the spoof TV shows in 30 Rock sounded like telly genius to me.

MILF Island
Are You Stronger Than a Dog?
Black Frasier
Real Transvestite Hoarders of Orange State Penitentiary
America's Next Top Pirate

And I'd love to see a full-length version of "The Rurjur"!

Definitely The Dark Is Rising (just the second book), filmed in 6 one hour long episodes - and with that subtle sense of creepiness and unease juxtaposed against all the excitement of Christmas. It could become a real Christmas classic.

All the Jack Cafferey books by Mo Hayder - with Aiden Turner playing Jack [swoons]

The first season of The Wheel of Time will be on Prime later this year, they have just started filming the second season.

Riders
Polo

Lowering the tone sorry but I would be so happy.

The first season of The Wheel of Time will be on Prime later this year, they have just started filming the second season.

I didn’t know about this!

A series based on the Mathew Shardlake novels by C J Sanson

Maybe the international success of Bridgerton will result in an interest in other Regnecy set things eg. Georgette Heyer. Producers love a winning formula.
