This programme is about two classics of West African fiction, one new, one very long-establisherd. Television  viewers in Nigeria have been serttling down to a long-running serialised version of Chinua Achebe's famous novel "Things Fall Apart", published back in 1958. It was not the first time the book has been filmed, an Igbo version was serialised on television. A director of the new English language serial for NTV, Adiela Onyedibia, has been in London completing the editing of the last few episodes and has been talking about the project to Ben Okri.
