I am really looking forward to this !

I wonder if it will be as good the "Merchant Ivory" version, of 25 years ago ?

A dash of sour to cut the cloying sweetness of your outpourings, Mikey, that's all.
Now I must away for I have to meet a mysterious foreign gentleman who has promised me news to my advantage.

Yes, I remember that one Emmie.....but we need another Dickens adaption now. They always seem to sell very well abroad, so it would seem to pay the Beeb to do some more !

trouble is i watch David Leans adaptations of Oliver Twist and Great Expectations and can't fault them. So any adaptation from now might not fare so well. I wonder which book they could adapt to make it a winner for sunday night

I noticed too late that one of the cable channels is repeating Dickensian, not everyone's cup of tea but I liked it.

zebo

Emmie....A Christmas Carol would go down very nicely now !

They have made a new film i believe with Dan Stevens late of Downton Abbey, see if i can find a link. It will be released this Christmas i think..

Dan Stevens
His latest movie sees him take on the role as Charles Dickens in The Man Who Invented Christmas - a drama based around the famous novelist.
