PBS’s MASTERPIECE THEATER is broadcasting a new production of Dickens’ Little Dorrit, a rags to riches tale. The Little Professor has raised some criticisms of this new adaptation here: http://littleprofessor.typepad.com/the_little_professor/2009/03/little-dorrit-i.html . If you’d rather not tune in Sunday nights all through April, you can buy or rent the DVD collection. I’m busy reading the Dickens’ novel in serial fashion to match the episodes being broadcast.
I haven’t read it yet, but I’ll get to it.
I bet it’s no BLEAK HOUSE, though.
Little Dorrit is very different than Bleak House. But I’ve enjoyed most of the BBC adaptations of Dickens.
Thanks for reminding me. I DVRed the first one but had forgotten.
I think this version is much better than the old version with Derek Jacobi.
