The National Film Theatre in London is hosting a special preview viewing of the first adaptation of the Sally Lockheart Series: The Ruby in the Smoke.  The event takes place on December 6, 2006.  Philip Pullman will be attending the screening and the after-show Q&A session.  Tickets can be purchased here in advance.

Thanks to Lesley for notifying us of this event.

'On a cold, fretful afternoon in early October, 1872, a hansom cab drew up outside the offices of Lockhart and Selby and a young girl got out and paid the driver. Her name was Sally Lockhart; and within fifteen minutes, she was going to kill a man.' This sophisticated and exhilarating drama, based on the Philip Pullman novel, stars Billie Piper as Sally, a girl who embarks on a journey to discover the truth behind her father's death - armed with a pistol, a thorough grounding in the principles of military tactics and a working knowledge of Hindustani. Philip Pullman will take part in a Q&A following this preview.
