Charles Dickens 200Th Anniversary Collection (DVD)

The engaging characters, compelling action and intriguing plot twists of Charles Dickens' great novels provide the perfect material for screen adaptation. Lavishly-filmed with a galaxy of stars, but retaining all the tension, emotion and drama of the novels, these BBC series have received both critical and popular acclaim.

Little Dorrit: This stunning TV adaptation weaves Dickens' tale of 1820s London into life with a sumptuous production and an all-star cast - including Matthew Macfadyen, Tom Courtenay and Andy Serkis. Oliver Twist: With a stellar cast including Timothy Spall, Edward Fox and Rob Brydon, this gripping adaptation delivers a modern, thrilling, tragic and occasionally comic edge to Dickens' classic tale. Bleak House: The murder mystery, love story and tantalising scandal of Dickens' literary masterwork are transformed into fast-moving, daring and compelling television in this acclaimed adaptation starring Gillian Anderson, Denis Lawson and Charles Dance.
