Another one of Charles Dickens novel will get a TV adapatation, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. I've never heard of this novel before. I guess the reason could be that it is his last an unfinish novel. Here's a little description of the novel taken from wikipedia:
Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, the story focuses on Drood's uncle, choirmaster John Jasper, who is in love with his pupil, Rosa Bud. Miss Bud is Drood's fiancée who has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless, who comes from Ceylon with his twin sister, Helena. Landless and Drood take an instant dislike to one another. Drood later disappears under mysterious circumstances.
