When the show just released the trailer, I grabbed a few bites of the novel. After watching the three episodes, I can only sigh that the BBC film is so good.
The biggest advantage of reading novels is that the author explains the details clearly. Although it is based on real events, he tries his best to make each additional plot appear believable, coherent and logical. Of course, due to time reasons, the characters in the play may seem abrupt. For example, in the beginning of Norman and the fake aristocrat, why did Norman's trip to France and Switzerland fail, and two people suddenly appeared in the third episode. Some details were also kept, such as Thorpe telling Norman to change his name to Peter Freeman on his way to his mother's house. The deletion and creation of the novel can also be said to be very exciting. Norman testified in court. The novel was described in a large chapter, and the play was changed to a few dramatic sentences. Thorpe was sitting in the opposite seat. I couldn't help but like it, and my brain made up the bridge "how can my little bunny be so smart".
To be honest, as an ordinary student who only knows British history from textbooks, after reading the novel, he can only look at the so-called lovers with a normal mind. Isn't this the story of the gold master-little white face, as the novel also says, "Norman also probably understood at this point that he was being fostered." It's hard to say what further views were formed. But this show has managed to see every character in the show with the greatest sympathy, whether it's the scumbag Thorpe or his various helpers. The bus at the end actually echoes the sweet time ahead, and the two eventually forgot about each other. "You know your political career is over" Mom whispered in her ear, and that's exactly what Thorpe can foresee for the rest of his life.
Seen on station B, it seems that BBC 4 also has a documentary about Jeremy Thorpe. The BBC can be said to have eaten and wiped the Thorpe incident. From the super-detailed report at the time of the incident to the three episodes and documentaries now, the two aunts who were most impressed when watching the preview said to the camera, "I don't. I'm sure you can watch it on the BBC." The reason why the audience likes to watch it is actually made clear in the play. People want to know why this person wants to kill that person so much.
Write so much first.
