The adaptation was by Julia Jones and Donald Churchill, who had written the ITV sitcom Moody and Pegg (1974ā75).[5] Their version excludes some minor characters in order to convey the action within the limitations of a seven-episode structure, but was praised by British reviewers for faithfully reproducing the mood and atmosphere of the original novel.[2]
