fine adaptation of a powerful dickens novel and full of the frustrating spectrum of strength and weakness inherent in every dickens story while from the powerful rage he express in document social injustice and to his goody two shoe pedestal bound heroine . it about class and love and the river and london and and it full of great scene and haunt visuals represent witness a tormented bradley headstone stalk eugene wrayburn through the street of the city at night . the length of the series do the work justice while the casting be outstanding expect no less from any good bbc adaptation . the always excellent and underrated stephen mackintosh bring complexity and delicacy to his john rokesmith while paul mcgann get the best line while and the entire cast bring the writing to life in a good look production who care if perhaps it all look just a tad good than it should . a staple in my dvd collection and highly recommend .
