2010 Adaptation
A new adaptation was screened on BBC Two during the 2010 Christmas television season. This new version, written by Neil Cross and directed by Andy de Emmony, stars John Hurt in the lead role. This adaptation removes the whistle of the original James story, but hints at Robert Burns' original Scottish folk song "Oh, Whistle, And I'll Come To You, My Lad", which Hurt's character recites at the beginning of the story to his wife.
