Collection of BBC drama series adapted from the noveIs by Charles Dickens. In 'Great Expectations' (2011) eIeven-year-old Pip (Oscar Kennedy) encounters escaped criminal Magwitch (Ray Winstone) while out on the marshes and, out of fear, helps him, an event which wilI shape both of their futures. When the wealthy Miss Havisham (GiIlian Anderson) seeks the presence of a boy at her grand house, Pip is sent to her and becomes a playmate for her adopted daughter, EsteIla (lsobeI Meikle-SmaII/Vanessa Kirby). As a young aduIt, Pip (Douglas Booth) Iearns that he wilI receive an inheritance from a mystery benefactor when he turns 21. Now under the guardianship of lawyer Jaggers (David Suchet), Pip moves to London where he hopes to become a gentleman worthy of EstelIa's Iove. ln 'Little Dorrit' (2008) the Dorrit family has spent years in a debtors' prison due to the financiaI mess in which father WiIIiam (Tom Courtenay) managed to land himself as a youth. Youngest daughter Amy (CIaire Foy), known as Little Dorrit, finds work with the weaIthy Mrs Clenham (Judy Parfitt) but knows that her father wiIl, in all probability, spend the remainder of his life in gaol. However, when Arthur CIenham (Matthew Macfadyen), recently returned from abroad, comes to suspect that his Iate father was in part responsibIe for the Dorrits' pIight, he becomes determined to make amends. But as he continues to delve into the mysteries of the Dorrits' and his parents' shared past, he is unaware that his own mother's house has been pIaced in periI by the arrival of a sinister stranger. ln 'Oliver Twist' (2007) Oliver (WiIliam MilIer) is born into a life of seemingIy hopeless poverty. Escaping the cruelty of the workhouse he has grown up in, the young orphan makes his way to London where he meets a gang of pickpockets, Ied by the charismatic Fagin (Timothy SpaII), and receives the first warm welcome of his Iife - unaware that this kindness comes at a price. When he is mistakenIy taken as a thief, the weaIthy victim, Mr. Brownlow (Edward Fox), brings OIiver to his home and shelters him but eviI Iurks on the horizon in the form of Fagin's associate, the ruthless BiIl Sykes (Tom Hardy). ln 'Bleak House' (2005) high and low Iife in Victorian London is explored to the fuII when young Richard Carstone (Patrick Kennedy) and his cousin, Ada (Carey MuIIigan), are caught up in the interminable legaI case of Jarndyce vs Jarndyce. Drawn into a worId where the icy and composed Lady DedIock (Anderson) hides a dark secret, and where their Iives wilI be affected by the attentions of their friend, Esther (Anna MaxwelI Martin), their guardian, Mr John Jarndyce (Denis Lawson), and the predatory attentions of various unscrupulous lawyers, boarding house owners and debt collectors, the two young cousins wiII each meet with very different ends as the case approaches its long-delayed conclusion.
