  • Basiert auf: The Thirteenth Tale

The Thirteenth Tale is a British drama television film that first broadcast on BBC Two on 30 December 2013. It is an adaptation of Diane Setterfield's 2006 gothic novel The Thirteenth Tale.

Production

The television film was commissioned for BBC Two by Janice Hadlow, the controller of BBC Two, and Ben Stephenson, the controller of BBC drama commissioning. The script was written by Christopher Hampton, and adapted from Diane Setterfield's gothic novel of the same name. The film was directed by James Kent and produced by both Norma and David Heyman. Filming began in June 2013.

A number of scenes were filmed at Burton Agnes Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in East Yorkshire. Simon Cunliffe-Lister, the building's owner, called the filming a "strange experience": the production supplied its own furniture for the interior scenes, so "it felt as though someone else had moved in".

The Thirteenth Tale runs for ninety minutes. The executive producers are Polly Hill for the BBC and Rosie Alison for Heyday Films, the production company behind The Thirteenth Tale.
