Ah - OK. I see what you mean but does the adaptation of Gormenghast, with 4 parts, differ that much from, for instance, the adaptation of Lord of the Rings in 3 parts? Not arguing - It is your thread and you know what you want. Just interested in whether and why you think it differs. Out of interest, the running time of LOTR is around 9 hours while Gormenghast is a little under 4 hours. If I remember rightly the books are somewhat similar in size.
