Television

The BBC has made several television-drama serials based on the works of Anthony Trollope:

The Pallisers, a 26-episode adaptation of all six Palliser novels, first broadcast in 1974. Adapted by Simon Raven, it starred Philip Latham as Plantagenet Palliser and Susan Hampshire as Lady Glencora

The Barchester Chronicles, a seven-episode adaptation of the first two Barset novels, The Warden and Barchester Towers. Adapted by Alan Plater, it starred Donald Pleasence as the Reverend Septimus Harding, Geraldine McEwan as Mrs Proudie, Nigel Hawthorne as Archdeacon Grantly, and Alan Rickman as the Reverend Obadiah Slope

The Way We Live Now, a four-episode adaptation of the novel of the same name. Adapted by Andrew Davies, it starred David Suchet as Auguste Melmotte and Matthew Macfadyen as Sir Felix Carbury

He Knew He Was Right, a four-episode adaptation of the novel of the same name, transmitted 18 April – 9 May 2004 on BBC One. Produced by BBC Wales, and adapted again by Andrew Davies, it starred Oliver Dimsdale, Bill Nighy, Laura Fraser, David Tennant, and Geoffrey Palmer.
In the United States, PBS has broadcast all four series: The Pallisers in its own right, and The Barchester Chronicles, The Way We Live Now, and He Knew He Was Right as part of Masterpiece Theatre.

Radio:


The BBC commissioned a four-part radio adaptation of The Small House at Allington, the fifth novel of the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which it broadcast in 1993. Listeners responded so positively that the BBC had the five remaining novels of the series adapted, and BBC Radio 4 broadcast the complete series between December 1995 and March 1998. In this adaptation, Stephen Moore played the part of Archdeacon Grantley.
BBC Radio 4 broadcast a serialised radio adaptation of The Kellys and the O'Kellys, starring Derek Jacobi, between 21 November 1982 and 2 January 1983.
Radio 4 broadcast The Pallisers, a new twelve-part adaptation of the Palliser novels, from January to April 2004 in the weekend Classic Serial slot.

Frenchman,  Renouard De Valayer established a postal system in Paris  - 1653.
Anthony Trollope obtained a position as a civil servant in the General Post Office, as a post-office surveyor.
Before the introduction of pillar boxes, on the UK mainland, it was customary to take outgoing mail to the nearest letter receiving house or post office. Such houses were usually coaching inns or turnpike houses where the Royal Mail coach would stop to pick up and set down mails and passengers. People took their letters, in person, to the receiver, or postmaster, purchased a stamp and handed over the letter.

The introduction of the pillar box had the side efect of allowing women to send letters to whomever they pleased, and men not knowing if and when these letters were being sent.

In the British Isles the first pillar post boxes were erected in Jersey in 1852.
