‘The prolific Wells, who died in 1946 aged 79, wrote more than 50 novels, more than 70 books of non-fiction, 88 short stories and more. “Let’s see how these are received first,” says [series writer] Graham [Duff]. “Wells was a genius and I have a lot to live up to if I’m going to do him justice.”’

H. G. Wells’s Darkest Stories

Tim Oglethorpe, Daily Mail Weekend, 23 Jan 2016

As promised in my earlier post today, full-text transcript below the cut. (For Daily Fail refusers, and because this feature isn’t online.)

Ray Winstone plays the prolific English writer in a new series that retells four of his most chilling tales – from bizarre pacts to weird insects and spooky paintings

Would you change your name in exchange for a fortune? That’s the offer on the table for struggling medical student Edward Eden. Ageing philosopher Egbert Elvesham is prepared to make Edward the sole beneficiary of his will provided he becomes… Egbert Elvesham.

It seems like a small price to pay for a windfall. “You might think that, but there’s a twist in the tale, which transforms Eden’s life in a way he’d never have thought possible,” explains Luke Treadaway, who plays Eden in an adaptation of the H. G. Wells story The Late Mr Elvesham that also stars Sir Michael Gambon as the philosopher.

It’s one of four intriguing stories by Wells – best known as the writer of The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine – which make up a chilling new series called The Nightmare Worlds of H. G. Wells, marking the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Each story is introduced by Ray Winstone, complete with long, flowing hair, a white beard, a pinstripe suit, and either a cigarette or pipe in his mouth. It may seem an odd choice casting Ray as one of Britain’s great literary heroes but his working-class background wasn’t a million miles from Wells’s.

“There’s this assumption that Wells was part of the Oxbridge set, but he was a working-class lad whose mother was in service and whose dad had a corner shop,” explains Graham Duff, who has adapted the four Wells stories for Sky Arts.

“And Ray was keen to work for [director] Adrian Shergold again, having done so on the ITV series The Trials of Jimmy Rose, as well as play the kind of part he doesn‘t often get the opportunity to play.

Graham says Wells aficionados may notice a few changes from the original tales but the basic themes remain the same. “I wasn’t interested in making 21st-century versions of the stories. They remain rooted in the 1890s and are true to the spirit of what Wells penned,” says Graham, who co-wrote Steve Coogan’s spoof horror series Dr Terrible’s House of Horror and BBC sitcom Hebburn.

“All four stories – and we hope there will be more – reflect Wells’s interest in mortality: what we leave behind, how we will be remembered, how we measure up to other people and what we do to make the most of our time while we are here.”

The second film, Devotee of Art, focuses in struggling artist Alec (Johnny Flynn), who becomes fixated with St Catherine, who he is trying to paint. Ignoring the attentions of his wife Isabel (Antonia Thomas), he finds St Catherine coming to life, stepping out of a picture frame and making Alec an offer that is every bit as enticing as the one made to Edward Eden.

Next week, Rupert Graves and James Wilby star as competing scientists with an interest in insects in The Moth. And Shaun Parkes stars in The Purple Pileus, the story of a shopkeeper who has a drastic personality change after eating a mushroom.

All the stories were written between 1888 and 1896 and Graham Duff would have plenty more to choose from if the series were recommissioned. The prolific Wells, who died in 1946 aged 79, wrote more than 50 novels, more than 70 books of non-fiction, 88 short stories and more.

“Let’s see how these are received first,” says Graham. “Wells was a genius and I have a lot to live up to if I’m going to do him justice.”

The Nightmare Worlds of H. G. Wells starts on Thurs 28 January at 9pm on Sky Arts.
