Well it was better than the BBC's Oliver Twist - probably because I didn't know the story. Toby Jones was brilliant as the evil Quilp, but then he's a brilliant actor all the time.

My only problem with it was Little Nell - who looked far too healthy and strapping to be a poor little child victim..... I spent half the time wondering why Derek Jacobi was wandering the countryside with Joss Stone, and why he didn't simply get her to sing rather than beg! :lol:

We watched it and it was well acted and depicted the times very well. But, like most Dickens, it was so very depressing and sad.
