Sorry the BBC website is such a mess but the BBC has gone to pot since Thatcher imposed political censorship and sacked all the creative people to replace them with bean-counters. |

I've actually read the novel "Jamaica Inn", it was one of those cases when I coudn't let the book down, "just a few more pages". I really felt the wasteland of the moors. The Hitchcock-Laughton movie might be based on the novel and it's chatacters, but differs very much.

Thank you, London. Good article. DON'T LOOK NOW remains one of my personal scariest movies ever. The blind sister shrieking "Fetch Him Back!" freaks me out every time I see it.

We read "The Lottery" in English class, one of the great twist endings of all time. Her version of The Birds was great, not sure why Hitchcock changed so much.

I thought it was Shirley Jackson? The author was Shirley Jackson, and "The Lottery" is indeed one of the great twist endings of all time--and the story superbly done. Miss Jackson, like Miss du Maurier, had a remarkable gift for prose. |
