I loved the BBC adaptation of Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet, completely missed Fingersmith (my favourite of her books - how did I miss that?!) and now I hear that Affinity and The Night Watch will both be on TV next year.

Scheduled to be shown on ITV in April 2008, Affinity's screenplay is by Andrew Davies (Pride & Prejudice ... and loads more) and the cast includes Anna Massey and Julia McKenzie.

BBC2 are adapting Sarah's latest book, The Night Watch, for screening in March.
