First broadcast in early 2000, this BBC serial of the celebrated modernist fantasy by Mervyn Peake was designed for an early evening time-slot in much the same vein as the earlier adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia.
Although Peake has left numerous drawings concerning his work, the
creators preferred a new approach that injected a good deal more colour
and humour into what is, on the page, a very dark and exhausted world; a
place of shadows, dust, rust and nettles
