Usually, they are staunchly accurate to the original text, but sometimes small things need to be tweaked to make it work on TV, as is the way with all book-to-screen adaptations.
In the book, they are separated as Harry tries to find Betty the exact flowers she wants for her perfect wedding day, and while he's away, the rogue scarecrow, Reginald Rake, drops by the field to try and woo Betty.
According to Ofcom rules, "the use of illegal drugs, the abuse of drugs, smoking, solvent abuse and the misuse of alcohol must not be featured in programmes made primarily for children unless there is strong editorial justification".
Speaking of the change, Donaldson said: "In the book, the fire is started by Reginald Rake through smoking. I thought that was really good because it shows him in a really bad light. He is a baddie and he is smoking and in the original book Betty says ‘smoking is bad for you’ and he gets a terrible cough and starts a fire so it shows how bad smoking is.
When asked by Magic Light Pictures if she would be interested in changing the story so they could adapt it, Donaldson initially said no.
"I wrote it and I think it works really well that way. I am sorry in a way to lose the smoking but I think marshmallows do work well.”
