Funny, that's precisely what I was thinking just earlier in light of Stephen's comment about the impossibility of depicting an "unknown colour" in a film, and wondering how they might do that if there really was a film of
Mountain!
I know there have been a few film/TV adaptations of the Adventure series, most of which are reportedly not much like the books (I haven't seen any of them), but I've just been thinking how lovely it would be if someone would adapt the entire series - or as many books as possible - for a TV serial, and do it properly. By "properly" I mean sticking as close to the books, or certainly to the spirit of them, as possible - set it in the correct era ('40s/'50s) and follow the plots of the books as far as they can be adapted to the medium successfully, with as little "updating" as possible.
These are some of Enid's most brilliant and exciting stories, and I can just imagine them done on screen - they could be given a real "retro" feel that would appeal to older generations, while still containing more than enough excitement and mysteriousness for younger viewers! I really wish some sympathetic producer would find the inspiration and money to do that. Anyone know of one??
(And of course, they'd have to find an extremely cool and handsome actor to play Bill.
