rf-fozzy, it’s simple. They used the Subtle Knife to cut around the house and slide it through a window into Oxford.

It just started raining here for the first time in ages. It smells of dust.

Hi there As suggested by larks, posting this here in case anyone is interested. My little sis is in the play of La Belle Sauvage, the first of the Book of Dust trilogy prequels in Bridge Theatre, London. It is now being streamed into cinemas (think a lot of plays are doing that now) thebookofdust.ntlive.com It's Thursday 17th Feb at 7pm. Did anyone see the original His Dark Materials on stage? Same director, Nicholas Hytner. G

That's interesting, I would love to see that. On the same subject, does anyone have any inkling as to when/if the 3rd Book of Dust is going to be published? I'm not holding my breath. |

Thanks for the bump of this thread, HappyG(rrr) - that's so cool about your sis, I hope she breaks a leg! Am I saying that right? I love His Dark Materials, they are contenders for my favourite books, but weirdly enough, have yet to see either the TV show or read any of his other books - i don't know why though! I think i'm a little fearful of how it would compare to the wonder inside my head. How does the Book of Dust compare to His Dark Materials in people's opinions? |

Yes, it's been running since November last year so her leg must be shattered into a million pieces by now! Right lingo though KPM! We went to see it on Saturday down in London. I loved it. As with all book adaptations, the characters may be different to how you saw them in your head, but the production was brilliant, I thought. Bit biased though, of course! We've booked to see it in the cinema as above too, so back for a second viewing. G

I've enjoyed the BoD books so far. Who is she playing HG? |

I saw The Golden Compass film with high hopes but came away thinking it was very "meh". I know it's technically a teen book series, but it was actually quite dark and dealt with some really deep and complex issues - i'm not a very good critic, but to me it seemed the film dumbed everything down and aimed it at children. I think i'm once bitten twice shy now
