One in particular struck me: I see no reason why his novels would not make a terrific TV series.
Something we have discussed many times at the Conventions and many of us would like to see happen

Another great convention and very enjoyable weekend. Thanks to all who were involved in the organisation for this, your hard work is appreciated. It was great to meet Colin, and it would be nice to see his musical become the success it deserves to be. Sorry some of the usual suspects could not atten...

Alan, I agree with you that The Devil Rides Out, Strange Conflict and Gateway To Hell would make a very good trilogy for either TV or films. Unfortunately, I understand that the whereabouts of the ownership of the screen rights for The Devil Rides Out, and possibly To The Devil A Daughter are curren...

Slightly off topic, I asked Charles at the convention who would give permission if anyone wanted to adapt a DW story or, as for Ian Fleming and now Agatha Christie, wrote a new story using DW's characters. Charles informed me it would be Dominic Wheatley, but the writer or adaptor would have to be e...

It is interesting to wonder what other genres DW could have written in and also what other periods he could have set his novels in. One outlandish one that springs to mind, especially as the Devil Rides Out had its title changed in the US. is a western. I can imagine DW being very creative with back...

Among the topics some of us discussed at the dinner break at the 2015 convention were numerology and the different spelling of De Richleau's name. I thought I could remember a post somewhere, (it is in this thread from Alan) of a theory that the spelling was changed from De Reichleau to De Richleau ...

Ken, I like to second Charles's congratulations on another very well organised event and to congratulate all the speakers. We keep wondering what we can do that is different, but all the subjects this time were new. The only regular spot was Steve P's review, and that is always is a different book. ...

I think Stevie P has some very good ideas in his post. As Steve suggests we could all take the lead in a discussion subject, eg how we came into Wheatley?, why have his books disappeared when others such as Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle are still readily available? I think his idea of a Convention...

Dear all Trying to think of something different for the convention, would any of you be interested in having a group reading of one of the crime dossiers to see if we can solve the mystery ? Charles has also reminded me that sometime ago someone also suggested the idea of playing one of DW's games. ...

Sorry to continue the topic derailing, my theory is that Denis in his writing, or possibly Arrow in their marketing, included 'The Irish Witch' and 'They Used Dark Forces' in the Black Magic stories to get readers interested in the main character and that character's series of books. Although he wro...
