Dear Bernard

Firstly thank you for Uhtred and the whole of the series – I am currently on book 10 and have loved them all.

I have equally loved and enjoyed the BBC & Netflix TV series adaptations but would like to ask your feelings about and involvement in the series 3 scripts. The changes in events and storylines – even inventing some new ones was a shock to me (particularly killing Ragnar) and although they where handled well they were not what was written by you and thus changed something that did not need changing.

It has left me feeling a little frustrated – I hate it when a great story is not followed properly and I would like to know your thought as the creator of that work.

Thank you again for your work and I look forward to reading much more in the future …. although I’m a little scared of reading the Sharpe books as I’ve watched every episode and worry how they may have been changed too!!!

Kind regards

Georgina
