Dickensian

I will have to cath up on that one Moulesy, I plumped for "All Aboard" The Sleigh Ride and had two hours of peaceful escapism....followed by "A Gert Lush Christmas" for lovers of extreme Bristolian....

I think its a very interesting idea although I don't like having two episodes with an hour inbetween. It is quite challenging and you do have to have your wits about you to keep up with the characters.

It IS really interesting; I wonder if Miss Faversham knows what is coming. I am enjoying it. I am Sky plussing so I can watch several episodes at once.

Miss Haversham. Sorry, I live near Faversham he heheheh 

Isn't Miss Faversham hoping to be ravished by some Russian prince? Or have I got a little confused again? (Same actress, 2 TV roles at the same time!)

It is confusing having Tuppence Middleton playing both roles - surely that is not her real name!?! Is she hoping we will all assume she is related to royalty in real life ?

(PS,All the best people live nr Faversham artyboo) 

I revel in the BBC's adaptations of Dickens and have many of them on DVD. So I started to watch this with great interest but I just couldn't get into it at all. I found it awfully slow and so confusing. I'm afraid I gave up after 2 and a half episodes.

Bit like Gregory Fitoussi appearing in Spin and Mr Selfridge then.

Why all the negative comments ??.  I think the acting and the sets are very good. After all it is just a TV adaptation of some Dickens characters. Its not meant to be a factual documentary.

Its not hard to follow, just record both episodes and watch them back to back.

PS It beats all those stupid reality programmes for interest.

I agree with both your points, K! A really well produced and acted series with an intriguing twist on the usual Dickens adaptations.
