It’ll take 18 months (so if you haven’t yet read it, you have a little time). Terry will be blogging about the process of transforming a book to a TV series, which will prove to be fascinating. I’m happy for Terry and can’t wait to see the funny story of Daniel and Angus told in another format.  I’m also hoping I’ll be done with writing my own book so I can watch TV and knit, like I used to do before I took up writing as my main hobby in 2009.
