Filming the story

I am concerned that the film must start from  introducing George, Harris, Jerome and Montmorency, a fox terrier. The men are spending an evening in J.'s room, smoking and discussing illnesses  they fancy they suffer from. They conclude that they are all suffering from 'overwork' and need a holiday. A stay in the country and a sea trip are both considered. The country stay is rejected because Harris claims it would be dull, the sea-trip after J. describes bad experiences of his brother-in-law and a friend on sea trips. The three eventually decide on a boating holiday up the River Thames, from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford, during which they will camp, notwithstanding more of J's anecdotes about previous mishaps with tents and camping stovesThis scene is needed to explain the audience the reason of taking a trip. 
Then we should descride the beginning of the trip. The friends set off the following Saturday. George must go to work that morning, so J. and Harris make their way to Kingston by train. They cannot find the right train at Waterloo Station  so they bribe a train driver to take his train to Kingston, where they collect the hired boat and start the journey. They meet George further up river at Weybridge.
Also I think that we should to include all the comedy set pieces from the book as they all are impotant for understanding the book's main idea. They are, for instance, the story of two drunken men who slide into the same bed in the dark, the Plaster of Paris trout in chapter 17 and the "Irish stew" in chapter 14 – made by mixing most of the leftovers in the party's food hamper; the story about Harris and George's packing a suitcase in chapter 4; Harris's singing a comic song in chapter 6 and etc.
