Tragic really. I'm 49 and such a Gwendoline Mary. I'd have been fucking miserable there, yet I was addicted to those books.

Oh I just loved it...how exciting! Might have to re read them

Nah, I just don't see how they'd translate to the current day. Might make quite a nice series but it'll be nothing like the original.

I would love this!

Yes please! I would love this.

I could imagine Emma Thomson as Miss Grayling. The only problem is that when I read the books the teachers seemed really old. On reflection they were probably not even 'middle aged' and no doubt younger than I am now?

I'm now completely distracted trying to think who would play the rest of the teachers...

I just gasped with excitement when i saw the title of your thread!

Ive still got all my books alongside the twins at St Cs

Miriam Margolyes as Mam'zelle. Olivia Colman as Miss Grayling. And if they update it I wouldn't watch it anyway.

Dd2 (13) is into acting, aibu to make her audition for this? She'd be a jolly good Darrell or Sally .

I'm 37 and I still occasionally read my Malory towers books. This is thrilling news!
