No singing!

According to Deadline, Masterpiece and BBC One are working together on an six-part "event adaptation" of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. The cast includes Dominic West, David Oyelowo, and Lily Collins, and it will be written by Andrew Davies. The only appealing thing about this project is that it's being adapted from the book, not the musical, so at least we won't need to listen to people sing about how much their lives suck.
