He\u2019s done it again with <em>Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em> and I can\u2019t wait to see what he has in store for his two latest endeavors, <em>Sanditon<\/em> and <em>A Suitable Boy<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Damian Keogh, managing director at producer Lookout Point, said: \u201cWe have always believed that Victor Hugo\u2019s story is enduring and timeless. The alchemy of Andrew Davies\u2019 scripts combined with Tom Shankland\u2019s direction and the extraordinary cast performances have created an adaptation that feels genuinely accessible and relevant. So it is satisfying to see buyers across the world recognize that this is a series their audiences will love.\u00a0We\u2019re delighted that <i>A Suitable Boy<\/i>, our next adaptation with Andrew, is also shaping up to be an epic, sweeping saga with similarly broad appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Studios has lined up a raft of international sales on Les Mis\u00e9rables, Andrew Davies&#8217; adaptation of Victor Hugo\u2019s 19th-century classic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[113,1138,1139],"class_list":["post-10956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-andrew-davies","tag-bbc-studios","tag-les-miserables","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
