I think Mary Renault's The Charioteer would transpose well into a BBC historical mini-series. There would need to be some re-organization of events, particularly in the introductory part. (I'd start it on the beach at Dunkirk, or just heading there; and then work in the first two chapters as flashbacks.) One thing about British TV, they're good at getting the look of the thing right: sets and props, correct costumes and old vehicles, that sort of thing.
