Birdsong

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I caught a bit of the trailer yesterday, does anybody know when it starts?

I think next sunday?

Ohh this book is sitting on my desk waiting to be read, might cheat and watch the series instead :X

Thanks Belgo.
It will be perfect Sunday night drama.

I hope the telly can do it justice, it is the most fabulous book.

I cannot wait to watch it. I love the book and I hope the BBC are able to capture it well.

Yes next Sunday after "call the midwife". Look good.

I hated that book with a passion. Faulks can't write from a woman's POV for toffee but didn't let it stop him.

Maybe the person adapting it might be able to - who knows, she might even be a woman.

They've said they had to cut loads out which would be good if they culled the whole ridiculous '70s plot line.

I must say, I hope they cut the 70s plot line as well limitedperiodonly

I really enjoyed Birdsong apart from the 70s plot line - it nearly destroyed the whole book for me.

That is what they have done apparently, it is just the pre-war and during war threads. I'm a bit dubious about whether it will live up to the book.
