    Thay movie was awful. As a huge fan of the series, I don’t know how anyone can watch it and understand the plot without being familiar with it beforehand.

    The BBC series is much better, and goes up to Book 3 iirc.

      I disagree. I loved the film. I remember it fondly.

      Do you like the books? I find that people who like or have read the books tend not to like the movie and vice versa. I do not like the books.

          Yeah the way I see it is that even Douglas himself didn’t quite have a single vision in his mind about the story, which is why there are so many iterations (radio, book, movie, tv series, musical? Am I forgetting anything?)
