Charles Dickens: The Classic Collection

£49.99

Released: 21st October 2024. 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. Great Expectations: Sarah Phelps' gripping adaptation brings out the very best of Dickens' masterpiece. Part thriller, part mystery, this is an epic tale of obsession, corruption, revenge, redemption, and forgiveness. Starring Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson, Douglas Booth, Vanessa Kirby, Oscar Kennedy, David Suchet. Little Dorrit: This stunning fourteen-part adaptation of Dickens' powerful story of love, honour, debt, and hope in 1820s London, with a sumptuous production and an all-star cast, including Claire Foy, Tom Courtenay, Matthew Macfadyen and Andy Serkis. Oliver Twist: This gripping and emotionally powerful adaptation of Oliver Twist by one of British television's most exciting writers, Sarah Phelps, breathes new life into Dickens' much-loved classic. Starring Timothy Spall, William Miller, Adam Arnold, Tom Hardy, Sophie Okonedo, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Edward Fox, Anna Massey, Morven Christie, Sarah Lancashire, Gregor Fisher, Rob Brydon, John Sessions. Bleak House: The murder mystery, love story and tantalising scandal of Dickens' literary masterwork are transformed by acclaimed writer Andrew Davies. Fresh and imaginative, yet faithful to the original, this thrilling, fast-paced adaptation is shot with a contemporary edge. Starring Gillian Anderson, Alun Armstrong, Pauline Collins, Charles Dance, Denis Lawson, Anna Maxwell Martin.
