Truth is BBC commissioned 6 episodes for the first two books. Debbie Horsfield had to ask for 2 extra episodes to make storyline smoother. So, we got 4 episodes per book. BBC prefers short series but charged with intensity... Everything starts, develop and ends in +/-6 hours. Jumps also happen in the books, first one starts with a young 13 y/o Demelza who is 17 y/o by the end of it.<br />So, in general I think Debbie made a great adaptation and it can really be seen on this show. <br />Next series have 10 episode! With more horse riding by the Cornish cliffs and more drama.Madkrakatoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197551788337610940noreply@blogger.com
