Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 20, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Andrew Davies! You've spent decades proving that classic novels aren't just fancy doorstops—we now know they're secretly bursting with scandalous plots and scheming characters. From turning Tolstoy into binge-watch television, to teaching us how Shakespeare could've practically invented Netflix drama (if he'd had Wi-Fi), your adaptations never fail to entertain.

And let's not forget you taught the world how politics truly works—your "House of Cards" made Machiavelli look soft-hearted by comparison. Who knew power struggles could be so gripping? As you celebrate another milestone today, may your wit remain sharp and may every plot twist favorably fall into place!
