Little Dorrit, I'm baffled

[kestrelg]

I've watched all the episodes of LD and it left too many questions.
What were Mrs Clenham's secrets, I accept that Arthur was not her real son , but so what, and what did she keep secret about Amy Dorrit. The villain knew but his accent was so bad I never knew what he was saying

How did the French/Italian villain learn of this for him to make the journey to England.

What became of the Maxine Peake character ?.

I am in total agreement with you kestrelg. I was flumoxed by the whole thing! The Maxine Peake character and the french guy have me baffled. I got absolutely lost re: the whole the baby thing and at one stage I thought that Arthur and Amy were brother and sister. Someone please - put us out of our misery!

Little Dorrit is one book I haven't read yet (just about to tackle Edwin Drood), but 18:36 Sat 13th Dec 2008

Oh, for pity's sake, what is wrong with this site?

I'll try a third time:

This gives a little more idea of what happens, although Andrew Davies confessed in an interview the other day that he made changes to the end.

However, like you, I'm still none the wiser as to the significance and/or outcome of Maxine Peake's character and that of Tattycoram/Harriett.
