The BBC has, in recent weeks, been rolling out new, one-off adaptations of literary classics in an impressive mini season. Last week we had Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and next week we have a new version of LP Hartley’s The Go-Between. While these two examine repressed lust and forbidden trysts, the one in the middle – An Inspector Calls – is a different kettle of fish, not least because it was never a novel.
