more Agatha to come

A popular entry in last year's array of Christmas specials (see Smorg 94), Agatha Raisin has been given the green light for producing 8 further episodes based on the M. C. Beaton stories.

Paul, here in Florida, points out that those who are avid readers of the M.C. Beaton books might be disappointed with the TV adaptations:
"I  wish I could say it was a wonderful show but they changed the whole story and most of the characters they kept were, for the most part, changed.
Agatha in the books is maybe 55 and in the show she looks 40 and they've given her a house cleaner who assists her. They've also taken away all of her sleeping around with a nobleman. It's the first time that I've had the experience of seeing characters I've studied being destroyed."
