Re-reading childhood favourites...

[lizbee]

I have just finished re-reading The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, and I've just begun Black Hearts in Battersea. As I re-read Aiken's Hanover novels, I find myself with just one question:

How is it possible that the BBC hasn't made a series of family-friendly TV movies based on these novels? HOW, I ASK YOU? Starring Daniel Radcliffe as Simon and Billie Piper* as Dido Twite, with cameos by every actor in England as various other characters.

Admit it. Now you're wondering the same thing. MATT SMITH CAN PLAY DOCTOR FIELD. ADMIT IT, THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I'VE EVER HAD!

* Well, yes. Who else?

You are so mean. You know Mickey Mouse gives me hives and throat-swelling.

There, see? Even Billie herself frowns upon your shenanigans.

I really must learn to be more sympathetic to those with strong allergies to animated mouse characters.

My neck's gone all big and EVEN BILLIE BLAMES YOU.
