Bleak House / Old Curiosity Shop, The :Colector's Set (DVD)
The BBC presents stunning new adaptations of two Charles Dickens classics, Bleak House and The Old Curiosity Shop. Bleak House has always been recognized as one of Charles Dickens's literary masterworks, but this Bleak House, adapted by Andrew Davies (Little Dorrit, Pride and Prejudice), is now fast-moving, gripping television! Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as "a mesmerizing piece of clockwork," and starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), this is the Bleak House for the ages. And in The Old Curiosity Shop Sir Derek Jacobi (The Golden Compass, Gosford Park) and Toby Jones (Infamous) alongside a powerful ensemble cast, bring to life some of Dickens's most colorful, humorous and tragic characters in these poignant adaptation of the Dickens classic.
