Justin Quayle, a member of the British High Commission based in Africa, begins his own international investigation when his wife is murdered. "What I like best of all is how Susanne Bier goes on chewing at the bone of the drama long after other directors would have given up and how, in this back-and-forth interaction between film and book, a two-way process occurs, as I begin to spot in her film things she herself may not be aware of, just as she has spotted things in my novel that I may not have been aware of," writes le Carré. John le Carré praised this adaptation that differed so much from his own novel, while managing to retain its essence. And as Olivia Coleman was pregnant at the time of shooting the series, her character became so, too. In a somewhat unusual storytelling choice, the Main Character is shown as an unassuming, almost passive, Do-er while the Influence Character is shown as an assertive, almost aggressive, Be-er.

This great suspenseful six-part series had significant changes made, most notably turning the leading investigator, Mr Burr, in the novel, into a woman, Mrs Burr. The Constant Gardener is a relatively straightforward conspiracy thriller made complex through the heavy use of non-linear Storyweaving. Produced by le Carré’s sons, writers Simon Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell through Ink Factory, this limited BBC series earned an Emmy award for its director Susanne Bier, and Emmy nominations for its stars, Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Coleman, and Elizabeth Debicki.
