I recently chatted with the head of a karate school/daycare center who was talking about the evenings when the school stays open late for parent date nights. He mentioned that the parents found that the event, though not available as flexibly as a babysitter, was cheaper than hiring a babysitter. Also, the child came home happy, exhausted, and ready for bed.
The 2000 miniseries gets a lot of flack, but I love it. It's well-written, acted, directed, and, in particular, remarkably costumed. I agree the the novel is inherently difficult to adapt. For similar reasons, my favorite novel, Shardik, would be almost impossible to translate to the screen. So much of it consists of internal dialogue and exposition.

Yes, the stone throw would have been metaphorical. The record for a thrown object is 428 meters.
