It's what's out there. I'm doing them in chronological order, so around the 30s/40s/50s they weren't exactly innovative. Later we'll have Muppets, Disney and coming soon in a separate feature, Blackadder's Christmas Carol, which turns the whole story on its head for laughs, and many of them. I'm just going from a list on Wiki, so the next ones seem all pretty standardish. There is one that Patrick Stewart did as a one-man show on stage, but I seriously doubt I'll be able to track down a recording of it, which is a pity. When you have to stick generally to the storyline there's not a whole lot you can do and still remain true to the spirit of the novella. I think you'll enjoy the Blackadder one though.
