34. Anne - Season 1

It's been over 100 years since L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables was published. Since then it's sold over 50 million copies, been translated into 20 languages, and spawned films, TV movies, live-action and animated TV series, and stage productions.

Can Netflix do anything new with it? Well, we'll find out this year, as they're producing an eight episode take on the book, which sees an 11-year-old orphan girl (the titular Anne) mistakenly sent to a brother and sister who live on a farm.

This one does have Emmy-award winning writer Moira Walley-Beckett behind it though, which gives cause of optimism. If you're not familiar with the name, she wrote many of the best Breaking Bad episodes, including Ozymandias. This'll probably be, er, a bit different though.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
