Acclaimed novelist Deborah Moggach was nominated for a BAFTA for her screenplay of Pride and Prejudice. Her latest adaptation, a TV dramatisation of The Diary of Anne Frank, has proved especially challenging. She discusses the challenges of adapting such an iconic work, dealing with the plight of a real family who came to represent the fate of six million Jewish people across Europe, and the prcess of transforming works of literature into successful screen drama.
