Jennings at School to the silver screen?

[pengolodh_sc]

A Norwegian online enwssource today mentioned that plans are in 
existance to make a film or TV-series out of the Jennings at School 
series.  The source for the story is an interview with 90 year old 
author Anthony Buckeridge, printed in The Guardian.  No date is 
given, but I assume it is a recent interview.  Any readers of The 
Guardian who have seen this interview?

Apparently the books are to be reprinted in the USA as well.
