Anthony Trollope - Trollope on television

The British Broadcasting Corporation has made several television drama serials based on the works of Anthony Trollope:

The Pallisers, a twenty-six-episode adaptation of all six Palliser novels, first broadcast in 1974. Adapted by Simon Raven; starred Philip Latham as Plantagenet Palliser and Susan Hampshire as Lady Glencora.

The Barchester Chronicles, an eight-episode adaptation of the first two Barset novels, The Warden and Barchester Towers. Adapted by Alan Plater, it starred Donald Pleasance as the Reverend Septimus Harding, Nigel Hawthorne as Archdeacon Grantly, and Alan Rickman as the Reverend Obadiah Slope.

The Way We Live Now, a four-episode adaptation of the novel of the same name. Adapted by Andrew Davies, it starred David Suchet as Auguste Melmotte and Matthew Macfadyen as Sir Felix Carbury.

All three have been shown in the United States on PBS; The Pallisers in its own right, and The Barchester Chronicles and The Way We Live Now as part of Masterpiece Theatre.

A dramatisation of He Knew He Was Right in four sixty-minute episodes began on April 18, 2004 on BBC One. It was produced by BBC Wales, and starred, amongst others, Bill Nighy, Laura Fraser, David Tennant, and Geoffrey Palmer.
