The Sculptress
Review date: 2006-08-14 Rating: 8 out of 10

Its been quite a number of years ago now but I do remember seeing the TV Adaptation of The Sculptress on BBC1.

I think the acting by Pauline Quirke, who played Olive Martin, was quite chilling and showed that she could move away from the role of Sharon she played in Birds of a Feather and other comedic roles she was used to. You were also convinced of Olive's innocence within the film.

But I do look forward to reading the novel version of The Sculptress to make comparisons between the TV Adaptation and the novel quite soon.

The Dark Room
Review date: 2006-06-08 Rating: 2 out of 10

After I enjoyed Minette Walters' novel (like all her other books) I was looking forward to watching The Dark Room DVD as I had missed it on tv previously. I was sorely disappointed, I know not all novels are adapted well onto the screen but I had been rather impressed with the excellent 'Ice House'. I found the script for the Dark Room rather poor and many of the acting performances were wooden. I initally thought casting Dervla Kirwan as Jinks was a very good choice but the script rarely allowed her to portray her as the likeable quick witted character that the book portrays. Overall disappointing considering how well the story plays out in the book.

Chillingly good

Excellent adaptation of five Minette Walters novels.
I am not a great fan of her books, but the series has
brought them to life with excellent direction and acting.
