After Lady Chatterley’s Lover and An Inspector Calls, BBC1’s next Sunday night literary adaptation is a version of LP Hartley’s 1953 novel The Go-Between.
“The Go-Between follows Leo Colston, who, as an elderly man, pieces together his childhood memories after finding his diary from 1900, which he wrote when he was 13 years old. A nostalgic tale about lost innocence, The Go-Between paints beautiful pictures of British life, humanity and social hierarchy at the beginning of the 20th century.”
Starring Joanna Vanderham (Banished, The Paradise) as Marian Maudsley, Stephen Campbell Moore (The History Boys, Hunted, Titanic) as Trimingham, Ben Batt (Shameless, From There to Here, Scott and Bailey) as Ted Burgess and Lesley Manville (Maleficent, Another Year, Mayday) as Mrs Maudsley. The young protagonist, Leo, will be played by Jack Hollington. Jim Broadbent and Vanessa Redgrave play older versions of Leo and Marian.
