As a massive Sharpe fan, I just wondered if you had any thoughts on the Flashman Novels and in particular everyone’s favourite cad – Harry Flashman, the antithesis of Sharpe if ever there was one. I notice that Celtic and Palace are developing the Flashman novels for TV. Do you think Flashman can be brought to life in today’s PC world and who would you see as Harry Flashman?

Also any plans for any other of your novels to be made into films? Best regards, Steven
