    The BBC and Netflix have teamed up to produce a new version of Richard Adams' seminal children's novel, Watership Down. The pair will "reinterpret" the story into a four-part animated mini series that'll air in 2017 on the BBC in the UK and globally on the streaming service. The new production hasn't scrimped on the cast, with heavy-hitters like James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, John Boyega and Sir Ben Kingsley voicing the main characters. It'll be the third time that the novel has been adapted for the screen, firstly as a film in 1978 and then again for TV in 1999.
