Presenter Our next caller is Carl from Essex. Hello, Carl.


Carl Hi.
Presenter What do you think, Carl? Do good books make good films?
Carl Well, I’ve read a lot of books and then seen the films, and I usually think
that the books are better. For example, I loved the Lord of the Rings books but I
didn’t like the films very much.
Presenter Thank you, Carl. Our next caller is Linda from Manchester. Hello,
Linda.
Linda Hi. Well, what I think is that today people don’t read very much. But they
go to the cinema. And sometimes after they have seen a film of a book then they
go and buy the book, so that’s a good thing because they read more.
Presenter But do you think good books make good films?
Linda Yes, I’ve read a lot of good books and then I’ve seen the films and I’ve
loved them all, The Exorcist, Harry Potter, Gone with the Wind. They’re all
great books and great films.
Presenter Thank you, Linda. And our last caller is Sam from Cardiff. Hello,
Sam. What do you think about our question today?
Sam I think good books don’t usually make good films. But I’ve seen some
films which I think are better than the books. That’s usually because the book
wasn’t very good.
Presenter So bad books can make good films?
Sam That’s right.
Presenter Give an example.
Sam Well, the James Bond films. The books aren’t very good but some of the
films are great, like Gold finger, or From Russia with Love.
Presenter Thank you, Sam. Bye.
