This episode we're back revisiting an old favourite of ours. In our first episode we watched the 1986 film adaptation of The Name of the Rose a 1980 book by Umberto Eco.  We were very excited when we heard that a new TV mini series would be broadcast in 2019. This is an Italian produced 8 part series starring John Turturro, Rupert Everett and Damien Hardung.  The film version left a lasting impression on us so in this episode we compare what this new version brings to the screen and discuss how this series has been adapted. You can listen to our first episode here: https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-ysjm6-73e938 This new version of The Name of the Rose was shown in the UK on BBC2 and is currently available on iplayer if you haven't seen to yet. Its also generally now available in DVD.
