TV/Movie Adaptations of Victorian lit... S/D

Any good ones? I love many of the BBC Dickens adaptations - Little Dorrit and Bleak House especially.

I saw a terrible adaptation of Wilkie Collins' The Woman In White where they cut out loads of great characters and crowbarred in some paedophilia sub-plot that wouldn't have been a major concern in 1860.

A couple of okay-ish made-for-TV two-parters were okay, if a bit long and comprehensive - Moby Dick, King Solomon's Mines.

Still I like these - if they're good they're highly involving and it means the little woman and I can watch something together we can both agree on and therefore makes the experience more sociable than reading.

What happens when you watch Little Women?

good one ;-)

"little woman", as ever, used with irony.

no that she's very big.

drama channel (freeview channel 20) on weekends is full of these things. Oliver Twist a couple of weeks ago, North and South (4 x 1hr) today. have also watched Great Expectations (the recent BBC version) and Tess recently.
