What A Difference Two Years Make

[poliphilo]

I was attracted by an article about how the BBC- following its success with War and Peace- was about to make a lavish, cinematic adaption of A Tale of Two Cities in collaboration with a noted Hollywood producer and I clicked on it and found it was two years old and the producer was Harvey Weinstein- so that's not going to happen now, is it?

Pity. A Tale of Two Cities is just asking to be made into an expensive mini-series. Riots, massacres, grave robbing, guillotines. I might even have watched it.
