Video Interview: Les Misérables’ Andrew Davies & Faith Penhale

Andrew Davies and Faith Penhale, CEO and creative director at Lookout Point and exec producer on Les Misérables, met with TV Drama’s Mansha Daswani to talk about bringing this epic tale to life as a series. The pair also discuss what excites them most about this adaptation.

 

Victor Hugo’s 19th-century classic Les Misérables has been adapted as a miniseries by Davies, who previously brought epics such as War & Peace to the small screen. A Lookout Point and BBC Studios production for BBC One, co-produced with Masterpiece, Les Misérables features among its cast Dominic West as Jean Valjean, David Oyelowo as Javert and Lily Collins playing Fantine.
