| Quote: | | Following the massive critical and popular success of the BBC's (and, of course, Andrew Davies') adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House in 2006, they tried to repeat the feat with Oliver Twist. Perhaps it's because people are so used to the exclamation mark/musical version, or perhaps it's because it's simply not as good a book in the first place - whatever the reason, Oliver Twist didn't have quite the same impact, despite some good performances. This year, it's back to Andrew Davies, and one of Dickens' (slightly) lesser known novels - the story of Little Dorrit, and her dealings with the mysterious Clennam family. |
