But you spelled his name wrong on all the posters. (It's "Chekhov.") Was that intentional? Did anybody notice? It's weird if they didn't, especially when it was right on the cover in large print.

The call went like this: 'We're very interested in putting 1 million pounds into Pride and Prejudice. Can you tell me who's written it?' Assuming that, if they were prepared to invest so much money, they would have already read the book and just wanted to know who had adapted it, I said: 'Andrew Davies,' and then added as an afterthought: 'from the novel.' 'Novel? What novel?' 'Er...the novel. By Jane Austen.' "How are you spelling that?' 'A.U.S.T.E.N.' 'Is she selling well?' 'Er...yes. Very well.' 'How many copies has she sold?' 'You mean altogether?' 'Yeah. Since publication.' 'Since...er...1813?' There was a long pause. 'You mean she's dead?' (Another pause.) 'So she wouldn't be available for book signings?'" You guys could do the same prank with Jane Austen, next time. Loved this one! From “The Making of Pride and Prejudice”, Introduction by Sue Birtwistle (May 1995):

I don't know why - it might be because Agent Wimpy is so awesome, or because so many people have no fricken idea who Chekov is. Alas. Of all your pranks, this is my favorite.
