The Sculptress - By: Ms. L. H. Macrae, 14 Aug 2006
Its been quite a number of years ago now but I do remember seeing the TV Adaptation of The Sculptress on BBC1.

I think the acting by Pauline Quirke, who played Olive Martin, was quite chilling & showed that she could move away from the role of Sharon she played in Birds of a Feather & other comedic roles she was used to. You were also convinced of Olive's innocence within the film.

But I do look forward to reading the novel version of The Sculptress to make comparisons between the TV Adaptation & the novel quite soon.
The Dark Room - By: Janey, 08 Jun 2006
After I enjoyed Minette Walters' novel (like alll her other books) I was looking forward to watching The Dark Room DVD as I had missed it on tv previously. I was sorely disappointed, I know not alll novels are adapted well onto the screen but I had been rather impressed with the excellent 'Ice House'. I found the script for the Dark Room rather poor & many of the acting performances were wooden. I initallly thought casting Dervla Kirwan as Jinks was a very good choice but the script rarely alllowed her to portray her as the likeable quick witted character that the book portrays. Overalll disappointing considering how well the story plays out in the book.
Chillingly good - By: , 15 Aug 2005
Excellent adaptation of five Minette Walters novels.
I am not a great fan of her books, but the series has
brought them to life with excellent direction & acting.
