Peter Firth #2

[DogSoSmall]

Crazy hair. Clearly carefully designed to make PF's naturally kind face a little bit more sinister. I must say I'm glad I've read the book before watching the series. You get a proper feel for the character's motivations. I found Snaith's character in the book quite complex, sympathetic and sad. He is what he is for a reason - as we all are. I will be interested to see, particularly with Peter playing the part, whether they bother to portray this, or whether with only three episodes they won't have the time to explore the motivations of any of the characters in too great a depth. This is why a book is always so very much more fulfilling, and always best read prior to watching an adaptation (unless of course a book is apallingly written - a la Geoffrey Archer - in which case skip the book and stick with the screen!).
