Having seen the TV series on Amazon Prime I will now purchase the book. Having watched the TV version I have a hunch the script writers probably buggered up a perfectly great story as they usually do. Great acting but the script had more holes than a Swiss cheese. Although the acting was quite good I found listening to various "French men" speaking Aussie English quite grating. I suppose it should not matter but added to the script blunders it sort of ruined the show. On the technical side, there were quite a few "interlace" artifacts, as Amazon had obviously taken a copy straight from DVD. Sad that they could not have used the original film version, but I imagine it has been lost long ago or perhaps it would have been too expensive to re-master. Interlacing by the way is how video was presented on old TV's. You probably don't care and you are right it should not matter. I am just being fussy. The other factor was that scenes filmed in Australia were almost always shot in groves of pine trees to make it look like France. It fell a bit flat - but then there was probably just not enough money. Now I will read the book and see what was left out and what was added.
