Adaptations

After Jonathan Miller adapted "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" for Omnibus in 1968, several stories from the collection were adapted as the BBC's yearly Ghost Story for Christmas strand, including "Lost Hearts", "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas", "The Ash-tree" and "Number 13". "Whistle and I'll Come to You" was also heavily adapted by Neil Cross for broadcast on Christmas Eve 2010.[2]

gollark: The rednet approach would be at least not too terrible as every skynet message is kind of a broadcast message.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: And as I said, I want people to be able to run their own skynet servers which still share messages with the main ones.
gollark: I would need separate geographically distributed servers. Skynet just runs off one which is about ten metres from me at home.
gollark: Rednet does it the lazy way - rebroadcast everything everywhere and discard seen ones - but that is wasteful.
