The Miniaturist: BBC made one MAJOR Nella Brandt plot change - did you notice it?

THE MINIATURIST came to a dramatic conclusion tonight with Nella Brandt making a number of shocking discoveries about her husband Johannes and his sister Marin.

But most importantly, Nella (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) finally learned the identity of the miniature model maker and why she had been sending her tiny replicas of the furniture in her home.

After chasing the miniaturist (Emily Berrington) through the streets of Amsterdam, Nella demanded answers and was finally given an insight into the model maker’s world.

However in the novel, written by Jessie Burton, Nella never meets the miniaturist but is instead confronted by her father.

Explaining the major plot change, executive producer Kate Sinclair said: “The main character of the title, The Miniaturist, doesn’t appear a huge amount in the book and we felt that that was a slight oversight.

“We felt it wasn’t right for this story and we didn’t want our audience to feel cheated.”

“So John [Brownlow] has written a very beautiful scenes where the two of them meet and Nella finds out more about who she is and why she’s doing what she’s doing.”

It comes after Alex Hassell, who starred as Johannes Brandt, revealed that Nella’s parakeet Peebo, wasn’t really a parakeet.

“It’s actually a parrot,” he told press including Express.co.uk. “But for all intents and purposes, it’s a parakeet.

“So basically that’s Polly and she was a complete star and clucked at all the right moments and in fact off-screen she would say various forms of hello and would burp and do lots of hilarious things."
