He gave us Mr Darcy in a wet shirt, he's written his steamiest scenes yet for Fanny Hill. Writer Andrew Davies has a reputation for taking classic novels and spicing them up - and it's well deserved.

But spice doesn't just mean sex: Davies's scripts bring out the fire in some of the finest and some of the most surprising novels.

Celebrate the great, the brilliant and the controversial work of Andrew Davies in our RT gallery.
