Deric Longden's first two books were adapted for television, the first retitled Wide-Eyed and Legless. The second, Lost for Words, was screened in January 1999 and won the Emmy for best foreign drama and a BAFTA for Thora Hird as best actress. After the death of Diana, he married writer Aileen Armitage in 1990 and they moved to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Deric Longden died of cancer of the oesophagus on Saturday 22 June 2013.
