The original source for the allegations about Trevor Brooks came from reputable news sources, and were posted as 'fair comment' so in that context are fine, which is why Lord McAlpine didn't sue The Guardian for publishing this article https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/nov/08/mistaken-identity-tory-abuse-claim, but did sue Sally Bercow.

Ironically the only time PB has remotely attracted the wrong sort of attention on that front was because of what a thread writer wrote, which was rectified with the upset party being allowed to put their view forward.0 -

I went from Shogun to Tai-Pan next and read it twice. I did not like the slow start but after that it settled nicely. Shogun was a masterpiece, delightful to read and I think I still have it around somewhere. I might re-read it when I finish my current book.John_M said:

To me this is still the best TV adaptation of a novel.
I do, however, love a good adaptation - whether it is for radio, stage or screen.
French and Russian literature from the same period, on the other hand, is something I can enjoy (as long as it is in a good translation)
No rhyme or reason for this - other than, perhaps, being forced through Far from the Madding Crowd for O Level. I gave up on that after chapter 23 and relied on the York Notes. Didn't stop me getting an A!!0 -

"Great novel"? Nabavi's law is symmetrical, and therefore also states that you should never endanger your enjoyment of a superlative TV series by reading the turgid drivel on which it is based. Imagine watching the Red Wedding for the first time, already knowing what is going to happen.Monksfield said:

I find a lot of Victorian novels almost impossible to finish - there is just something about the prose style of Dickens, Hardy, Trollope etc. that I don't enjoy.
I do, however, love a good adaptation - whether it is for radio, stage or screen.
French and Russian literature from the same period, on the other hand, is something I can enjoy (as long as it is in a good translation)
No rhyme or reason for this - other than, perhaps, being forced through Far from the Madding Crowd for O Level. I gave up on that after chapter 23 and relied on the York Notes. Didn't stop me getting an A!!0 -

Dear me, how sad. You'd actually deprive yourself of the incomparable pleasure of reading one of greatest novels ever written because of some screen adaptation?Beverley_C said:I did watch the BBC adaptation in the late 70s although I was probably too young to appreciate it (I was still at secondary school). I decided to skip the book on the strength of it.
You should follow Nabavi's Law: Never, ever, under any circumstances, watch a TV adaptation of a great novel which you haven't yet read. Why spoil your potential enjoyment of the real thing, on the off-chance that the pale imitation isn't too awful?0 -

As regards those who are puzzled by the fact that adaptations of novels by Thomas Hardy are miles better than novels by Thomas Hardy, that is because novels by Thomas Hardy aren't very good.

It is the sort of thing that deserves official recognition

Ellwood's military training no doubt played a big part in his actions today. He put himself into the middle of a potentially lethal situation in order to help a fellow human. That is to be applauded and acknowledged.0 -
