Love this book and adaptation! My response to the police officer's speech is exactly the same as the protagonist's, "how can I join you?"

O homem que era quinta-feira. I love this, seriously. Greetings from Brazil. Sadly I do not have ETWN in local TV. But at least I can watch it by Internet. Viva Cristo Rei!

There is a published dramatic adaptation of the novel by Chesterton's sister-in-law, Ida.

I recently read The Man Who Was Thursday but no longer have access to the book. One thing I didn't notice was any explanation of who this policeman really was. Was he merely what he seemed, another person who had had an encounter with the man in the dark room and didn't know the full story about Sunday? Or might he have been a sort of, well, good version of the evil poet (not wanting to give away too much for those who haven't read the book)?

@GenghisKhan44 That's a difficult question to ask about anyone of Chesterton's generation, since it is that general period which the Traditionalists view as Traditional Catholicism itself. Personally, I suspect Chesterton would have been what he, I think, was in life after his conversion: an orthodox mainstream Catholic.

Wittiest diologue of the book!

Nine years late in replying here, but I disagree. It is certainly intelligent, and (if I may be forgiven for using such a slur) *intellectual*, but it is not witty. It is virtually a monologue. TMWWT is an incredibly witty book, but this is not one of the witty bits. I would hold up Syme's frantic attempts to deny to Professor de Worms that he is a policeman as a counterexample. Perhaps not as intelligent, but far more witty.

Wonderful stuff! Thanks for posting it. One observation though: The policeman sounds English, but the actor playing Gabriel Syme sounds (to my ear) vaguely American.

I googled ACS and after a little while turned up the American Chesterton Society. I guess it's a group of talented American actors and theatrical types who really enjoy Chesterton. The policeman's accent was good, very good, but not flawless. It was *too* cockney, I guess. Still, these people are taking pleasure in enjoying Chesterton, and whether they're from the US or from Eswatini, that's pretty awesome. *edit* Sorry for the late reply.

I think this was well played on the book. I still wanna read the full book, read a few excerpts somewhere; hope I can find the book somewhere. I have to say, a very interesting subject.. A philosophical conspiracy, basically; I understand the point that the actually more innocent are arrested for small misdemeanors, while the philosophes that think up methods for acceptable mass murder of innocents, go free. None of the Manhattan Project researchers have been arrested for mass murder, etc.

The punishment created the crime... reminds me of these sick philosophers of post-modernism... Foucault, for example.
