The Night Watch is a great book, I finished reading it a few months ago. When you get round to reading Fingersmith I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Sarah Waters doesn't write a bad book. As for the adaptation I believe she had considerable input and it has stayed pretty faithful, definitely read the book first though.

It's fantastic to know that you got so much out of this vid. I hoped it would appeal to people who know the text as well as to a wider audience. Many thanks Laura.
