What are your thoughts on book-to-screen adaptations? Auntadadoom prefers an adaptation that takes its time. "And I especially like the space to experience the smaller moments and hear about Lady Catherine’s chimneypiece and the pigs getting into the garden…and you get those parts a lot more in a more spacious adaptation."
