Only, this happened in the background there – we’re getting a much closer look in the show.We also see some more of Billy Costa – who we reckon has been merged with book character Tony Makarios – as he comes to terms with his situation alongside his fellow captives. This conversation does not happen in the books – we don’t see Serafina until a little later.This material – as well as Lee’s desire to play cards – is taken from Philip Pullman’s short story Once Upon a Time in the North, which is set some years before the events of the main story in Lee’s younger days.“Some of that flavour has already been baked into the way I enter the world,” Miranda “Like the notion of coming into the saloon, and playing cards…all that stuff that’s so good about Once Upon a Time in the North kind of happens in our version of season one.”There’s a slight difference in Lee’s motive for joining Lyra and the Gyptians on screen compared to on the page. It follows the coming of age of two children, Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry, as they wander through a series of parallel universes. He is the male villain of the piece.”At the end of the episode we also see Boreal kill journalist Adele Stairmaster by suffocating her dæmon – which was a pretty neat scene, but another addition from the books.And Bakare says that this scene was actually one of his favourite from the series.“And when we’re working in tandem together, and we’ve both got our plans, and you know you want to do that ‘hahahahaha’ laugh at the end of it.”Sign up to be the first to know when we launch the new website!Each recipe includes everything you need to prepare a 5* pasta dish, including freshly made pasta, an authentic sauce & delicious garnish.

Interestingly there is a reason why the show dipped into Will’s story in the first series rather than waiting to introduce him in the second, At the very start of this episode we see Mrs Coulter, still at Bolvangar, let out a truly terrifying roar, before she confronts one of the staff members – telling her “they cut out your daemon, not your brain” as she looks for information about which direction Lyra went, eventually bullying her into submission.Later we see her talk with Father McPhail, who tells her that her project has failed and that Iofur has died. The difference is the absence of the witches – who are present at this point in Pullman’s novel but not on the TV show.As with just about every other episode in the debut series, we get a closer look at Mrs Coulter’s dealings with the Magisterium in the final episode.
His Dark Materials is the latest book to be turned into a tv series - and it's not the first time, either.
Lee claims that he is no use anymore and that he has played his part but when told that Lyra still needs him, he appears to pledge his allegiance to the cause.
