Good evening viv. I have read all the books by both authors and my favourite,is Roy Grace. I watched the first TV adaptation of DCI Banks and was very disappointed. IMO Stephen Tompkinson in the lead role was a very bad choice.Also,as was said earlier,there is too much poetic licence involved.
Oh dear I didn't realise that link was that old dave !
No, Hugh Boneville doesn't really cut it as Roy Grace .
Can't think who I would choose for him .Clive Owen perhaps ...ooooh:)
I like David Morrisey .I think he would have been good as Banks .
Annie Cabot has never had a baby in the books .
I think they take a bit of poetic licence with TV and film adaptions sometimes They're never really true to the books .
The only television I have ever seen that was practically word for word from the book was Brideshead Revisited .

Another detective I can't think of is one who lived in a lovely flat overlooking a Cathedral and he had a sister who was a doctor. Her husband died. He was a farmer.
