I am a Dickens reader. But I often find his stories present information in a rather confusing order and often struggle to see how they are related to the main story. This BBC video set ( from the TV series ) puts all this right. The actors are all well cast as main characters in the story, the sets are good and the storyline has been slightly re-ordered to make the plot much easier to follow. Read the book , it is one of Dickens' better stories IMO , but also see the BBC version which makes it all so much better

Just brilliant. Will watch over and over again. It is so refreshing to see and hear a Dvd that has no gutter language.

Little Dorrit - a classic Dickensian tale of wicked treachery and vile satanic cruelty – is the book that propelled the abolition of ‘debtors prisons’. Full of colloquialisms now deeply rooted in common parlance - such as ‘feint heart never won fair maid’; ‘what’s love got to do with it’; ‘fortune favours the brave’ and many more - this riveting dramatisation of Dickens amazing gut-wrenching story pulls you right in from the onset. Have a box of tissues on hand – a handkerchief doesn’t cut it.

Excellent Dickensian drama with an all star cast, superb production and great acting. Also some very nice location work in Italy half way through , which makes a refreshing change of the drab London setting. A clever and powerful story.
