Of course, Peter Duck would make a fantastic movie, but let's remember that the books aren't movie scripts but completed works of art in their own right.
[Hmmm, WDMTGTS would be pretty cool too....]

Consider the idea of filming AR from another angle [ahem]: as a means of completing his uncompleted works
I believe The River Comes First would make fantastic television, and I think Kevin Sullivan-style production would be the way to go, too! Of course the BBC would do a great job too.
Another one is Coots in the North. I'd hate the idea of anyone trying to finish this in book form, but why not "complete" it in a movie [probably a tv movie]?

For good adult drama, I think the Autobiography would make a tv series every bit as good as Reilly Aceof Spies.
[Ransome met Reilly once by the way] All it needs is a catchy title, and the last 40 years would I'm afraid need to be condensed into "then he lived happily ever after".
Racundra's First Cruise would be popped in somewhere, and if it was thout of as a "bio-drama" then it would be ok to make up extra spicy bits!
