White Teeth (TV serial)

(

)

~~... that the TV miniseries White Teeth was intended as a BBC drama but ended up broadcast at Channel 4 instead?~~

Reviewed: Inclosure Act 1773
Comment: I'm all ears of proposing ALT hooks if the original hook isn't that interesting.

Created by Tanbircdq (talk). Nominated by George Ho (talk) at 07:13, 1 May 2013 (UTC).

Alt 1: “...that the author, Zadie Smith, was approached to adapt the screenplay for the television serial White Teeth from her novel, however she declined the offer in order to complete her next novel, The Autograph Man.” Tanbircdq (talk) 23:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- How about factual trivia about the production company asking the author to adapt the novel, rather than who acquired the rights to create the series? Tanbircdq (talk) 23:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Alt 1 is not in the article. --George Ho (talk) 23:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Alt 1 has now been included in the Production section of the article. Tanbircdq (talk) 22:00, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
ALT 1a: ... that the author Zadie Smith declined to adapt her own novel, White Teeth, into the television miniseries in order to complete her next novel, The Autograph Man?
- ALT 1a is more properly formatted than ALT1. --George Ho (talk) 03:27, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
  - I agree, this is better formatted and sounds better. Tanbircdq (talk) 19:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
    - Article new enough, long enough. QPQ done. Hook ALT 1a verified. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:38, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
