With last week's announcement of an Adrian Mole musical at Leicester Curve, the Royal Court's production of The Twits joining other Roald Dahl West End favourites Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and rumours of a Famous Five play on the way, we wanted to find out what other novels people wanted to see adapted for the stage.

So at the relaunch of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, another novel adapted for the stage, we had a chat with some of theatreland's finest to get their views.

Watch below as the likes of Sherlock's Andrew Scott and Louise Brealey, X Factor winner Sam Bailey and West End star Samantha Barks give us their ideas and a rather surprising admission from author of Curious Incident, Mark Haddon.
