Of course, Pullman's story doesn't end there – there's also the additional trilogy he wrote after completing those books, The Book of Dust, which expand upon the lore and the world he had already established.
Speaking with us exclusively for our video interview series The Radio Times Writers' Room, in which we get to know what makes screenwriters tick, Thorne was asked whether he could return to adapt The Book of Dust, to which he said: "No, I think that's for another writer now".
"I think that I've done all I can in that world, and I think that it needs a different energy than the energy I've got," he said.

I had a conversation with Julie [Gardner], who works at Bad Wolf, and Julie was like, 'I think you should talk to Jane [Tranter, executive producer]'. And it was literally that conversation of, 'I love these books, and these are the reasons why I love these books'. And then she said, 'We should do it together'.
"And it was one of those sorts of dreamy things that you don't really think about too much at the time - and Potter was exactly the same for me and [director] John Tiffany - where it was like, 'Oh, OK'. And then suddenly you're doing it, and you haven't had time to sort of have that question, 'Am I daunted by this?', because you're doing it with people you trust."
He discussed the series in his chat for The Radio Times Writers' Room, in which he also delved into his work on the three This Is England miniseries, Adolescence, the upcoming Beatles movies and more.
