The Owl Service, I believe, is why I write obsessively about "inexorably reenacting" stories. It wound me up and I go round.
And you let people change their stories and move within them and not always come out the cruelest versions.
How lovely that your copy is like leaf mould, part of the understory of the wood.
Cathy Butler screened the Granada adaptation for me in black and white. I've just found out that it was filmed in colour and broadcast in monochrome, which seems somehow fitting: it was flowers and they made it owls.
See previous comments: regshoe has found it on YouTube and it's in color! Brief perusal in order to make sure it wasn't region-restricted confirms that the color scheme of the wires is in play in the production design.
I heard Alan Garner speak at Cambridge University in (I think) 1975. He was glittering mad, and said that seeing the people in his head made flesh was excruciating.
But then he did it again with the 1978 Play for TodayRed Shift! Maybe he didn't feel as haunted by that one.
