Gormenghast is a four-episode television serial based on the Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake. It was produced and broadcast by the BBC.
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
