Oh well they might as well try - but don't they know Jane always triumphs in the end?There's drama aplenty in the battle for viewers this autumn. ITV chiefs are so desperate to beat their BBC rivals they've brought forward the new Cracker film by more than a month so it goes head-to-head with the Beeb's adaptation of Bronte's Jane Eyre.
"Cracker was initially supposed to be screened in November," whispers our source. "But it's now going out on October 1 - against the second part of Jane Eyre. "It looks a like deliberate act of sabotage by ITV, which will only serve to damage both shows in the ratings." Crikey.
It is difficult to sum up this almost encyclopaedic novel, with chapters named for great works - Pygmalion, Wuthering Heights, Things Fall Apart - and a "final exam" on characters and themes that no reader will pass. Marisha Pessl's first fiction begins as a comic road story, quickly becomes a Bildungsroman and ends as a mystery.Reader I Married Him is creating lots of controversy. Today it's The Independent's turn to wonder whether men can write romantic fiction and romantic heroines.
