It left me with that sort of feeling. I was also left with the notion that, personal preferences aside,the whole dramatisation is going to be considered with the same regard as LOTR - I certaily would consider it on equal terms at least.BollWeavilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-38781648017252706132011-08-15T23:31:28.287+01:002011-08-15T23:31:28.287+01:00Of course it's all written down – on the blog!...Of course it's all written down – <i><b>on the blog!!</b></i>Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-71979695756236523072011-08-15T20:06:22.695+01:002011-08-15T20:06:22.695+01:00From a historical perspective,is this information ...From a historical perspective,is this information in your blog written down anywhere ?

The final 15 minutes of the last episode were based on the recently published <i>Titus Awakes</i>, a final volume written by Peake's widow, the late Maeve Gilmore, in the 1970s. You'll find more background on the book <a href="http://briansibleysblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/peake-achievements.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio4/2011/08/the_history_of_titus_groan_for.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a>. The island, though not named by Maeve Gilmore, is clearly meant to be the Channel Island of Sark where Peake <a href="http://briansibleysblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/island-peakes.html" rel="nofollow"><b>lived and worked</b></a> for several years. For Maeve, Titus' journey ended in his being united with – becoming one with – his creator, the writer <i>(and artist)</i> Mervyn Peake.Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-90964601610100540592011-08-14T20:19:47.322+01:002011-08-14T20:19:47.322+01:00Once again, thanks for such a fantastic production...Once again, thanks for such a fantastic production. I was captivated by every episode. Your productions bring stories to life in such an incredible way. In 'Titus' I felt as if I could imagine every part of the landscape, cities etc as if I were present. I must admit I had not really discovered Peake's amazing works before. What was the island he goes to in the end and who does he meet there? Did Peake have in mind that Titus was somehow passing between dimensions in his travels?Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-32476089164221106762011-08-14T07:25:02.469+01:002011-08-14T07:25:02.469+01:00Ooh, you are a scream, Brian!Ooh, you are a scream, Brian!SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.com
