A Christmas Carol

The one with Patrick Stewart (Picard in Star Trek) is my favourite, am re-watching all of the Dickensian episodes at the moment. Very enjoyable this time round with plenty of mince pies!

I don't think you can ever improve on Scrooge, circa 1956.
Alistair Sim and a young George Cole.

Absolutely. A masterpiece. Although Albert Finney as Scrooge, and the Disney animation are very watchable too.
Don't like Whitehall,or his father, so wont be watching that version.

We watched an updated version yesterday with Suranne Jones called A Christmas Carole, we loved it

I love the musical version with Albert Finney, great fun!!

Esmay

I agree .
Just watched Alistair Sim as Scrooge and George Cole as his younger self .
Kathleen Harrison played his housekeeper .
I thoroughly enjoyed it .

Yes, that would be my choice too.

I love Jack Whitehall so I’ll check it out. I must admit I stopped watching Bad Education when he was no longer in it.

just seen the end of the one starring michael hordern, which v good. on ?sky arts.
many famous actors inc a young chr biggins, whom i recognised behind dark whiskers and specs.
i tend to dislike more recent adaptations of classics, as they don't seem to care about getting the details right, of manners and dress, scene setting.

will take a look - thanks for the recommendation.
