Charles Dickens Premier Collection DVD Boxed Set – BBC British drama miniseries collection. Over 15 hours of content!

No author presents the grotesque comedy and dark tragedy of Victorian England like Charles Dickens. His works have inspired countless adaptations, some springing to life before the original serial publication of the novels had even finished! Now, the BBC presents three stunning new adaptations of Dickens’ best loved stories, transforming literature into art. Presented in a stunning collectors boxset.

Bleak House (2005) – Always recognised as one of Dickens’ literary masterworks, this Bleak House, starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), is fast-moving, daring gripping television and was adapted by Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Little Dorrit). Here is the murder mystery, the love story, the comic genius and the tantalising scandal of the novel, but stripped of its sentimentality, we find ourselves swept along by a pulsating and edgy drama.
Stars: Gillian Anderson, Anna Maxwell Martin, Denis Lawson, Carey Mulligan, Pauline Collins, Nathaniel Parker, Timothy West, Charles Dance.

Oliver Twist (2007) Timothy Spall (Harry Potter) stars as Fagin in this gripping, powerful adaptation of Dickens’ dark and enchanting tale about the poor orphan boy who dared to ask for more. This adaptation remains faithful to the spirit of the novel while delivering a modern, thrilling, tragic and occasionally comic edge.
Stars: William Miller, Morven Christie, Timothy Spall, Edward Fox, Sarah Lancashire, Tom Hardy

Little Dorrit (2008) – Acclaimed screenwriter Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House) crafts an all-new Dickens adaptation. Filled with humorous yet tragic characters, Little Dorrit is a stirring rags to riches story, exposing the underbelly of 19th century British society as only Charles Dickens can.
Stars: Claire Foy, Matthew Macfadyen, Tom Courtenay, Emma Pierson, Andy Serkis, Russell Tovey, Ruth Jones
