Did the BBC ever get round to finishing their adaptation of Small Island by Andrea Levy? Did I miss it?

Ooh, if this is the one with Ashley Waters in it then you haven't missed it but I'm not sure when it's on. He was talking about in Jonathan Ross' radio show last week. Thanks for reminding me - I didn't want to miss it either!
Sorry you're snotty

henryhuggins · 08/11/2009 15:51

yes - am pretty sure it hasn't been shown yet - couldn't find anything on google links apart from 'autumn 2009 transmission'

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/11/2009 15:53

Oooh I have just bought this book and the blurb mentions the adaptation - presumed I had missed it, so really pleased to hear that!

nevergoogledragonbutter · 09/11/2009 23:04

bbc link here no news though.

i'm stupidly excited about it. i love the 1940s as a setting to any story, but really loved this one.

Still no news on this.

I saw the book in smiths today, with the BBC actors on the front - so it must be soon.

Rindercella · 21/11/2009 09:08

Oh God, there's an adaptation? I loved the book.

NGDB, you have made my day I can't wait for this to be shown now

I really enjoyed it last night - I wish I'd read the book first, but it's too late now.
