Little Dorrit

There are two versions about. One with Derek Jacobi and Max Wall and a newer longer version with Claire Foy. Both very good and worth watching for the comparison. It's marvellous how Dickens never palls; the mark of genius I suppose.

I watched this sometime ago and loved it. The characters in it are marvellous. I can imgine many actors wanting to have a role in a series like this it has great scope for them to show their talents.

Must take a look.

Bleak house is out there as well. Excellent acting from the likes of Johnny Vegas, Gillian Anderson, Anna Maxwell-Martin et al..

Both of the series mentioned above are superb. My favourite though is "Our Mutual Friend", starring a young Keeley Hawes and Anna Friel, as well as Timothy Spall, Pam Ferris, Peter Vaughan, Paul McGann, Steven Mackintosh and David Morrissey. It's absolutely brilliant.

I've seen a lot of Dickens's films and love them. Not long watched David Copperfield on the Drama channel which was last week I think.

I saw David Copperfield last week too EllanVannin, what a cast.

Of course Dickensian can be added to this list of goodies. Marvellous characters in this series too. I think it is still on Netflix if anyone wants to view.

I loved Dickensian as I loved the film "The Man who Invented Christmas" with the gorgeous Dan Stevens as Dickens (Netflix).
