Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, which premieres this Sunday on BBC America, is seven hours long and still leaves a lot of stuff out. Its source material, of course, is the 2004 best-seller by Susanna Clarke, in all its 1,006 pages of Napoleonic-fantastical glory, and the first three episodes of this seven-part series are missing all sorts of minor characters and exciting subplots, not to mention all the footnotes.
