    Production


    In the early 1960s there were rival plans to film Lorna Doone for British TV by the BBC and British Granada. Granada claimed they registered their claim in 1961. Both approached Bill Travers to play the lead.
    As of 2021, this was one of only two serialised adaptations made by the BBC (it was remade in 1976 starring Patrick Troughton). However, all 11 episodes of this 1963 version were later wiped by the corporation and are believed to be lost. A single photograph featured on the front cover of a Radio Times issue is all that exists.
