19 Miscellaneous information (Ben Elton)
* On the South Bank Show, he said he didn't envisage seeing STARK as a
television show. He also once said on Going Live that he hoped to see
his novels published in recycled paper for environmental reasons.
STARK the TV-film has been released on video, and of the five books I
have read, none of them were on recycled paper :-)
* It took him 10 weeks to write STARK the book, 10 months to write STARK
the script, and two years to get TV producers interested in the whole
idea...
* On Australian radio, he said he would like to do a film version of
GRIDLOCK, but the producers would have to find a good spastic actor to
play Geoffrey.
* Fancy buying a line of "Benelton" clothing? Pop along to Turkey where
brand name pirates are marketing clothing under the name
"United Colors of Benelton".
