Really looking forward to the serialisation of David Nicholls' book starting tomorrow on BBC1. He is one of my favourite authors - he has the knack of writing stories that ought to be incredibly shallow and schmaltzy but actually turn out to be surprisingly deep. If this is as good as the film of "One Day" it's going to be a real treat!

I might watch it on iplayer at some point, I got part way into the book a few months back and semi gave up, found it a bit tedious but if the programme shortens this I might see what happens....except I'd got a totally different picture in my head of the characters.

Not David Nicholl's style, CY - it's a common theme of "Starter for 10", "One Day" and his latest "Sweet Sorrow" (sorry to give the game away on that one! ) - you think you're heading for one sort of happy ending but get a completely different sort.
Nice easy reading though!
