I will never forget the outrageous horror that was the TV adaptation of Christopher Brookmyre's Quite Ugly One Morning - not only do they cast an irishman as the glaswegian hero but they give it this absolute sexist mullering by totally changing the two heroines (from sorted dyke and feisty single woman to frisky single and desperate ex-wife) and fuck it up COMPLETELY...

Captain Correlli's Mandolin is, for me one of the worst adaptations I have ever seen, it still makes me angry thinking about it now! Also any adaptation of Wuthering Heights generally makes me a bit angry.

LOL at "Billie Piper gurning her way round Mansfield Park", it's now making me giggle too much to be angry at any more

I'm a bit gutted I missed the Malory Towers film, even if it was rubbish, I loved those books!!
