We’ve kept most of Malcolm’s score, and even included a few cues that were cut from the 1972 serial for being too avant-garde! This will be their first TV airing.

I was already in awe of you and the book, but re-reading it before the interview – and then going back to it constantly while writing – made me fall in love with it even more. We’re all so lucky it exists, so thank you! ❤️
