Published Thursday, Feb 7 2008, 16:53 GMT | By Dave West
The BBC is developing a series based on adaptations of Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels.
Andrew Davies, who adapted Bleak House, Sense and Sensibility, A Room with a View and Fanny Hill for television, is working on scripts.
The series is likely to be of half-hour episodes like Bleak House, though it is not yet known how many there will be or which channel they are for. It will be produced by BBC Drama Productions and is expected to air next year.
The books are about rich aristocrat and politician Plantagenet Palliser.
Davies is also working on Charles Dickens adaptation Little Dorrit and Speak for England for the BBC and an ITV1 drama based on novel Sleep with Me.
