Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This article includes an incomplete infobox, which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by filling in the missing or incorrect information yourself, or copying the "source code" into the attached article if you need it, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:
	~title of novel~ ~cover image of novel fair use~ ~image caption to give edition details~ ~author of novel~ ~country of publication~ ~language of original novel~ ~illustrator for novel~ ~cover artist name for novel~ ~novel genre~ ~publisher for novel~ ~dd month yyyy~ Print (~binding~) ~pagecount pp (~binding~ edition)~ ~ISBN ~999999999~ (~hardcover~ edition)~ ~prior book in series if relevant~ ~subsequent book in series if relevant~

[edit] Article focus

This article should be about the book, with a section for the TV version. Unfortunately it's now nearly a decade since I read it and I haven't got a copy at hand so I can't contribute. —Rory ☺ 20:12, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cast

Is the cast accurate? It doesn't match the IMDB listing, anyway. I don't want to change it in case it refers to a different version not mentioned elsewhere in the article. 80.192.131.182 17:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

yes the cast is accurate but not for the imdb version, this refers to one which was released not long after the book was written but is largely forgotten now. so far as i know it hasn't been shown on tv anytime in the last few years, nor have i ever seen it on sale. maybe someone out there has more info on this version/actually has a copy of the original? in any case the john thaw version is generally considered the 'official' version.

corrected cast, the official film version (sanctioned by the author) is not the same as the more well known yet unofficial john thaw version. unsinged comment by 62.31.160.60 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Film cast

I have taken the above on trust and augmented the article. I have contacted the editor to check his source. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 12:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
