For William Boyd fans

Restless by William Boyd will be on BBC1 - but not until December unfortunately (just read it in the Sunday Times Culture Magazine). Star cast with Rufus Sewell, Charlotte Rampling and Michael Gambon amongst others.

I loved the book, so hope they have done it justice. It's a WW2 spy thriller.

I recorded this and watched it all last night. Well worth watching on iPlayer if you didn't record it. very atmospheric and true to the book.

I have recorded the series also. I want to read the book first though. I hate reading the book AFTER the film or TV production!
