Please someone make this into a film
"I just read the book for the first time and it was so visual to me that I thought I'd seen a film version. Google revealed that it's never been a film so I must have seen this series when I was 10! Surely due a remake as a film this time?..."

Tessa Peake-Jones' first nude scene; also the first nude scene for Rachel Kempson, who was in her 70s at the time and plays a nun.
