The BBC are looking to jump on the coat tails of the success of the Man in the High Castle.

I discovered they commissioned scripts for Len Deightons SS-GB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-GB, another great alternate history book, this one was published in 1978 and is a great read, extremely well written by the author of the Ipcress File/Funeral in Berlin & other Harry Palmer novels. I heartily recommend it.

Looking forward to that when it is screened, keep a look out.

Good news if they make that, really enjoyed The Man in the High Castle(though very, very different from the book).

Would love to see some Harry Turtledove stuff on TV, His alternative WW2 with added alien invasion Worldwar books, or his alternative American Civil War series.

I think it has been filmed, there are cast & crew lists available for all 5 episodes (though I can't see a credit for King George?).

e.g Episode 5 of 5 cast list. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4948460/?ref_=ttep_ep5
