The BBC will produce a miniseries based on the Kathy Lette romance novel To Love, Honour and Betray.
The book was published in 2010 and centres on a love triangle involving a mother, daughter and a male.
“The book is my sequel to Puberty Blues. It’s basically Puberty Blues told from the mother’s point of view because, once I had a teenage girl, I realised how badly I had treated my own mother,” Lette told News Corp.
“The thong was on the other foot and I didn’t like it.”
Lette has a 19-year-old daughter Georgina by her husband Geoffrey Robertson, but the story is not based on fact.
News of the BBC rights first emerged in April.
“Who’d have thought, all those years ago when I was penning Puberty Blues with a girlfriend, that Cronulla would ever go global?”
Filming will take place in Cronulla next year.
Meanwhile TEN’s Puberty Blues, which begins in replay on TEN tomorrow night, is set to air its second season soon.

The BBC making a mni-series set in Australia would be interesting. Not the first time but this sounds more Aussie than some of the things they’ve done before. Maybe the ABC should consider doing a series of “Cronulla Now”.
