Description: | Proposal for a television series based on Barbara Leonie Picard's novel 'Ransom for a Knight' (OUP, 1956). The typed proposal, which is in a 'Ransom for a Knight' presentation folder, was written by television producers Graham Stewart and Sidney Cole, both active in the 1960s on programmes such as 'Robin Hood' and 'Dr Finlay's Casebook'.
This television series was never made - Picard was to have been 'historical advisor' for the series, which Graham Stewart foresaw as continuing on after the events in the book and moving on to a romance between the two principal characters of the book. Picard was not in favour of this continuation of the story, and so withdrew the book and declined the proposal. All correspondence regarding it was destroyed by Picard. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | BLP/02/06 | Go to resource |
