## Description

★★Collection of BBC drama series adapted from the novels by Charles Dickens★★In 'Great Expectations' (2011) eleven-year-old Pip (Oscar Kennedy) encounters escaped criminal Magwitch (Ray Winstone) while out on the marshes and, out of fear, helps him, an event which will shape both of their futures. When the wealthy Miss Havisham (Gillian Anderson) seeks the presence of a boy at her grand house, Pip is sent to her and becomes a playmate for her adopted daughter, Estella (Isobel Meikle-Small/Vanessa Kirby). As a young adult, Pip (Douglas Booth) learns that he will receive an inheritance from a mystery benefactor when he turns 21. Now under the guardianship of lawyer Jaggers (David Suchet), Pip moves to London where he hopes to become a gentleman worthy of Estella's love.In 'Little Dorrit' (2008) the Dorrit family has spent years in a debtors' prison due to the financial mess in which father William (Tom Courtenay) managed to land himself as a youth. Youngest daughter Amy (Claire Foy), known as Little Dorrit, finds work with the wealthy Mrs Clenham (Judy Parfitt) but knows that her father will, in all probability, spend the remainder of his life in gaol. However, when Arthur Clenham (Matthew Macfadyen), recently returned from abroad, comes to suspect that his late father was in part responsible for the Dorrits' plight, he becomes determined to make amends. But as he continues to delve into the mysteries of the Dorrits' and his parents' shared past, he is unaware that his own mother's house has been placed in peril by the arrival of a sinister stranger.In 'Oliver Twist' (2007) Oliver (William Miller) is born into a life of seemingly hopeless poverty. Escaping the cruelty of the workhouse he has grown up in, the young orphan makes his way to London where he meets a gang of pickpockets, led by the charismatic Fagin (Timothy Spall), and receives the first warm welcome of his life - unaware that this kindness comes at a price. When he is mistakenly taken as a thief, the wealthy victim, Mr. Brownlow (Edward Fox), brings Oliver to his home and shelters him but evil lurks on the horizon in the form of Fagin's associate, the ruthless Bill Sykes (Tom Hardy).In 'Bleak House' (2005) high and low life in Victorian London is explored to the full when young Richard Carstone (Patrick Kennedy) and his cousin, Ada (Carey Mulligan), are caught up in the interminable legal case of Jarndyce vs Jarndyce. Drawn into a world where the icy and composed Lady Dedlock (Anderson) hides a dark secret, and where their lives will be affected by the attentions of their friend, Esther (Anna Maxwell Martin), their guardian, Mr John Jarndyce (Denis Lawson), and the predatory attentions of various unscrupulous lawyers, boarding house owners and debt collectors, the two young cousins will each meet with very different ends as the case approaches its long-delayed conclusion.

Review: Outstandingly Good Adaptations. - This box set comprises nine discs in all: Little Dorrit 4 discs, Bleak House 3 discs and Great Expectations and Oliver Twist one disc each. There are several additional features embracing interviews with actors, photo galleries and other background items such as staging, and the set also includes an introductory booklet. If we've read the books it's often easy to say: 'That's not like it was in the book.' With these four adaptations I found Oliver Twist to be least like Dickens' original work, but I didn't mind because, for me, the adaptation was actually an improvement on the original. As some of us will have discovered, Dickens is not the easiest Victorian writer to read. Sometimes he does 'go on a bit' and his characters are often more in the nature of being caricatures. So much so, in fact, that some of them can get a bit silly at times. I've always preferred reading George Elliot, Mrs Gaskill, the Bronte sisters, Anthony Trollope and Thacheray, which is why I absolutely love to have Dickens on disc. You don't have ever to have read any of Dickens' novels to enjoy watching all of these adaptations. We can always nit pick, but it's hard to see how any of them could have been adapted much better. Since Little Dorrit is one of the strongest characters ever created by Dickens, it's inspiring to see her so well portrayed as in this production. I could go on to quote more examples of how well other characters are acted, but there's really no need because the BBC has made such a good job of adapting these four novels that all that is needed is for reviewers to encourage others to 'watch and enjoy'. The adaptations are of the kind that will bear watching over and over again. I'm old enough to remember the days when many Suffolk villages still had their blacksmiths' forges and farriers shoeing facilities or 'traverses' as we used to call them. The sound of hammer on anvil, the smell of burning hoof and the whinnying of horses were among my earliest memories. There was even an eccentric old wealthy lady and, I too, had to eventually leave my rural idyll to make my way in the world. Here we have an inspirational adaptation of 'Great Expectations', arguably the best of all Dickens' novels. My father was born just a few months after Dickens died and I grew up among people who had started life as Victorians. Every day I continue to meet people who are so like the characters in these wonderful adaptations. I even know a lady who keeps birds in an aviary that fly all round you when you go inside it – just like it happens in Bleak House, which in this box set comes across as a truly all time great adaptation. I'll say no more other than to emphasise that, if you love well made films you can do no better than to invest in this box set, which so skilfully honours the genius of the one and only Charles Dickens.
Review: Wow. - I had seen Bleak House and Great Expectations before I bought this dvd set. I had enjoyed them so much I was willing to gamble on the other two. They did not disappoint. I had never come across the story of little Dorrit. I have now watched the adaptation and read the book. I am also now reading Bleak House and suprising myself that I haven't done this before. There is also Oliver Twist and it is shorter than the others but just as gripping and well acted. My only criticism is one of information. The episodes aren't a consistent length and it is impossible to know how long each episode is until you start it (and get your device to display time remaining). Consistent episode length would have made it easier to watch, or choose to watch, but I loved the 1/2 episodes in Little Dorrit and possibly Bleak House. Overall a great box set of some of the most stunning, disturbing, compelling, and heartwarming viewing I have seen in a long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Breathtakingly brilliant
*by M***D on 16 November 2016*

Superlatives were invented for this! The production values on these BBC Dickens adaptations are breathtakingly high; the direction is masterful; and the acting superb. These are simply wonderful productions which draw you in from the very first. Little Dorrit is my favourite of the set - heartache and passion delivered through fantastic acting. Brilliant. Bleak House is also wonderful - tragedy, longing and intrigue. Superb. Oliver Twist is excellent and the perfect antidote to that irksome 1968 musical. Great Expectations was my least favourite. It is still good, though I think Pip is miscast, and it feels a little hurried compared to the others. This is TV classic drama at its very very best.
