Hello Mr Cornwell

It should be taken for granted that I am a huge fan and the pleasure and education I have received from your novels are much appreciated.

Whilst I’m delighted that BBC are making Uhtred into a series I am also concerned about how this will vary from the books and the comparison to Game of Thrones (I understand the reason). Could you please let us know what your input/influence will be as this would reassure me of a sound grounding for the series.

As regards casting – I’m so glad Paul McGann broke his leg for Sharpe, but who do you think for Uhtred

May you continue to make me dream of being a hero

I’m delighted to see that the BCC are making a series of your excellent Uthred books.  Purely out of my own selfish interest will you have any input into this or will you just admire from the distance and count the richly deserved royalties!!  If you’re not involved will you have sleepless nights that the Beeb might make a mess of it, which I’m sure they won’t?

Lastly, many thanks for countless hours of enjoyment reading your wonderful books.

Dear Bernard

Just seen today’s annoucement that the BBC will begin filming The Last Kingdom in the autumn.

After the success of the Sharpe films I am sure this series will be equally successfully and perhaps will give Game of Thrones a run for its money.

Best wishes

Steven

 

Excellent news today concerning the BBC’s forthcoming show The Last Kingdom. Will you have anything to do with the production?  If only to keep the Beeb on the historical straight and narrow ….

Mr. Cornwell,

I just read an article which claims that the BBC is planning to adapt The Saxon Stories for a new television series. Can you confirm or deny that!?

Much appreciated,

Eric Clay
