The BBC is producing a three part adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s novel Johnny and the Bomb for BBC 1 in the UK. The serial will made as a children’s drama and will star Zoe Wanamake, Frank Finlay and Keith Barron.
Johnny and the Bomb is the third book in Terry Pratchett’s Johnny Maxwell trilogy. The book follows the adventures of a bag lady who holds the key to time-traveling. The drama is being produced for the BBC by Childsplay television based on a script by Peter Tabern who won an International Emmy and a Baftat Children’s Writer award for his adaptation of the children’s classic Stig of the Dump.
I’m not a big Terry Pratchett fan myself having only read one of his many books, Good Omens which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. I mainly read that one because I like Neil Gaiman. I keep meaning to give Pratchett a real try, but he’s written so many freaking books! Where would I even start? At the beginning I guess, Discworld, maybe Color of Magic?
Filming for Johnny and the Bomb is in South Wales under the direction of Dermot Boyd.
