For the interest of Mervyn Peake fans the world over . . .
Channel 4 TV has filmed `Mr Pye' on location in Sark with
the co-operation of (at least) Clare Peake (+ all the
Sarkese!).
It stars Derek Jacobi (of `I Claudius') and Judy Parfitt as
Mr Pye and Miss Dredger.
The first episode is being shown next Sunday and I'll post
a mini-review in a week's time.
It seems likely that if it is a success PBS stations in the
USA may buy it.
Stay tuned . . .
