This is the thread to discuss the adult short stories and novels of the author Roald Dahl. Please note that it is not for the discussion of his (admittedly much better known) children's books. As you may know many of Dahl's adult short stories were adapted for TV in such anthology series as Way Out and Tales of the Unexpected (TOTU).
So this is the place to discuss all aspects of Roald Dahl's fiction for adults and their various adaptations on TV.
Do you have any favourites among Dahl's short stories or novels or a favourite adaptation?
Let's hear from you!
Personally speaking, my favourite Dahl short story and TOTU adaptation is 'Parson's Pleasure'.

Yes, that's another classic story and TOTU episode of course and one with a Bond connection as the initial idea came from none other than Ian Fleming himself! Dahl acknowledges this in the introduction to the TOTU adaptation.
