Talk:Cadfael (TV series)

Dates
I own a DVD set of Series I (not pirated, but bought from HMV!)

The copyright date by Carlton is consistently given as MCMLXIV, ie 1964, some 13 years before Ellis Peters stated writing the books. Bonus material on the DVDs include Filmographies which are consistent with the true 1994 date.

Episode Summaries Focused on Differences from the Novels Aren't Very Helpful
Some of the episode summaries consist largely of lists of the ways in which each episode's plot differs from the plot of the corresponding novel. While interesting to those familiar with the novels, this approach has little value for viewers who don't remember the novels or never read them. I try to use the summaries to figure out whether I've watched an episode, or to identify an episode I want to rewatch or recommend to someone. Diffs between novel and TV plots don't help with any of that. Can we aim to include in each summary a synopsis of the TV episode's plot? Bthoenen (talk) 06:08, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I have not watched many of the television adaptations, because the adaptation of the same title as the novel, bears little resemblance to the plot of the novel, or the interactions among the characters. Thus, I find it useful to compare the adaptation to the novel. Of course, in telling the differences, most of the descriptions convey the story told in the adaptation, or so I read them. If you plan to revise the descriptions, I suggest retaining the text that identifies the differences from the novel. --Prairieplant (talk) 08:57, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

source Barb television for audience in 1998
I know that is the correct source for the UK audience, but the brief URL given as a source points to this week's shows, not the 1998 data in the table. Is there a better way to do that citation, to point to the 1998 data directly? I was not up to searching the site to find it, a site I do not know so well. So, whoever put the source, could use a cite format, and the URL that brings a reader close to the data you included in the article? Thanks much. --Prairieplant (talk) 00:55, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
