und wer sich den "kleinen lord" auch ganz unabhängig von der jahreszeit in endlosschleife anguckt, ergo zu weihnachten doch mal was neues braucht, nun, der darf sich nun freuen. ITV verfilmt nämlich burnetts rechtzeitig wieder entdecktes buch "the making of a lady" unter dem titel "the making of marchioness".
ITV1 is to adapt Frances Hodgson Burnett’s ‘forgotten’ romantic novel The Making Of A Marchioness into a single period drama.
It has commissioned fledgling indie Runaway Fridge TV to make the 120-minute film, which will be titled The Making Of A Lady and is being lined up for a Christmas TX.
The plot focuses on a penniless woman, Emily, who is forced to marry her employer’s wealthy nephew, Lord James Walderhurst, who is a widower.
The pair move from London to a country manor and their relationship begins to blossom. But Walderhurst’s staff are suspicious of their new lady and her life is put in danger when she fosters a friendship with her husband’s nephew, Alec Osborn, and his Indian wife, Hester.
The Making Of A Lady is the first show Runaway Fridge has made alone after it co-produced BBC2’s Bafta-nominated spy thriller Page Eight with Heyday Films and Carnival Films last year. The company is backed by Fremantle Media UK and is run by Stevie Lee, who is executive producer on the project.
Jo Willett is the producer and Richard Curson Smith is the director, while Kate Brooke is the writer. Lee said: “Making a single drama like this is a great way for Runaway Fridge to cut its teeth. There is a lot of Edwardian TV drama around, so we are moving The Making Of A Lady’s setting back from 1904 to 1886, so it will look and feel more Victorian. It’s an engaging and clever story but it’s also fresh – a period story that very few people know.”
The drama will be filmed on location in Manchester and Stoke in August. It was commissioned by ITV director of drama Laura Mackie, controller of drama Sally Haynes and drama commissioner Victoria Fea.
Hodgson Burnett is best known as the author of kids’ classic The Secret Garden.
na, klingt doch wenigstens der unbekanntheit wegen ganz spannend.

"the making of a lady" - hier noch eine veröffentlichung von ITV mit hinweisen zu cast, crew und story:
ITV is delighted to announce JOANNA LUMLEY (Absolutely Fabulous, Marple) is to play the role of matriarch Lady Maria Byrne in Making Of A Lady, coming soon to ITV1.
She will be joined by LINUS ROACHE (Titanic, Batman Begins) who assumes the role of her nephew and wealthy widower, Lord James Walderhurst. James D’Arcy (Cloud Atlas and soon to be seen in Hitchcock) will play Walderhurst’s unscrupulous nephew Captain Alec Osborn.
Making Of A Lady is an adaptation of a ‘forgotten’ classic novel by celebrated playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Little Lord Fauntleroy) by acclaimed writer Kate Brooke (Mr Selfridge, The Forsyte Saga, Wired). The one off film, will be produced by Runaway Fridge TV.
LYDIA WILSON (The Crimson Petal and White and About Time, Richard Curtis' soon to be released new comedy) will take the lead role of the film’s heroine, Emily. HASINA HAQUE (Kidnap and Ransom, Casualty) will take the role of Captain Alec’s exotic wife Hester.
The classic tale tells the story of the well born, educated but penniless Emily who grew up hoping she would marry for love, but has come to realise that her priority must be survival. Opening in late Victorian London, initially in a shabby part of town, The Making of a Lady depicts genteel Emily struggling to make a living.
Fine featured but at pains never to look pretty or attract attention, Emily works for Lady Maria Byrne, a domineering, acerbic older woman who lives in a very smart house on the other side of town. During her daily duties as a lady’s companion, Emily comes into contact with her employer’s wealthy widower nephew, Lord James Walderhurst. Weary of Lady Maria’s relentless match making, Walderhurst cuts a rather distant figure, but he treats Emily with a great deal more respect and kindness than his aunt.
When Walderhurst realises that a favour he asked of her has lost Emily her position he is mortified. It occurs to him that the two of them could come to a practical if unromantic agreement – marriage. He admires the fact she is dedicated and hard-working and appreciates her undemanding nature which he imagines would not impact too much on the life he has chosen. He realises that he can offer her a secure home and a true independence born out of his wealth. He and Emily aren’t in love, but he clearly hopes that one day affection may blossom. Emily is shocked and sad to give up her hopes of marrying for love but without other means of support her situation is such that she has little option and she finds herself accepting.
His family disapprove of the marriage, but undaunted Walderhurst marries his Cinderella and they move to his beautiful stately home.
With a ruby ring glowing on her finger, Emily is the new lady of the manor but while her relationship with her new husband very slowly starts to blossom the staff, especially the butler Litton and his housekeeper wife are less than welcoming and eye her suspiciously.
The only friendly faces in her life are Walderhurst’s handsome nephew, Captain Alec Osborn and his beautiful Indian wife, Hester. They seem very much in love, which is the antithesis of Emily and Walderhurst’s still unformed relationship, and she is fascinated by their passion. Significantly, Walderhurst intensely dislikes his nephew and his frequent requests for money. Osborn is Walderhurst’s sole heir as long as he and Emily remain childless and Emily realises belatedly that Walderhurst’s sudden proposal was hastened by the family’s concerns about Alec’s marriage to Hester.
Emily and Hester quickly develop a friendship and when Walderhurst decides to rejoin his regiment in India in response to an emergency, Emily is grateful for the company that she and Alec offer. Sad and insecure, with her husband having abandoned their home just as they were growing in warmth towards each other, Emily is delighted when Alec and Hester arrive to stay with her, but butler Litton is obvious in his disapproval and very suspicious of their motives.
All is not what it seems as an increasingly contented Emily has no inkling her life is actually in danger. Whilst Walderhurst risks his life overseas, his wife is in peril and she seems powerless to avoid the threat that begins to encircle her. The arrival of Hester’s servant, the mysterious Ameerah only serves to heighten the jeopardy surrounding Emily.
Will Walderhurst realise the threat that hangs over her new wife? Will Emily realise her life is in danger before it’s too late? Who is the secretive and shadowy Ameerah and why does she come into their lives? Can Litton, a loyal servant over many years to Lord Walderhurst, help Emily as the net closes around her?
The single film (1 x 120") will be filmed on location in Manchester and Stoke. Executive producer for Runaway Fridge TV is Stevie Lee and the film will be produced by Jo Willett (Coming Up, Bertie and Elizabeth, A Rather English Marriage). The director is Richard Curson Smith (Will Self’s The Minor Character, Consenting Adults, Pinochet in Suburbia, Wire in the Blood). Filming begins on 27th August for four weeks.
"There’s a real depth and complexity to the characterisations within The Making of a Lady," said Victoria. "Kate Brooke draws beautifully upon the richness of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel and we’re delighted to have commissioned such a classic and powerful story."
am witzigsten ist ja wieder mal die freude über den eigenen achso grandiosen einfall :rofl:

Klingt auf jeden Fall nach einer prima Räuberpistole, obwohl Linus Roache als romantischer Held nicht allzusehr taugt. Aber dafür ist Pullings mit an Bord und in zwielichtiger Mission unterwegs. Wie schön. Wahrscheinlich ist das Ganze nachher leicht bekloppt, aber mit englischer Distinguiertheit serviert.
