Product Information

A victim of her father's debt, 'Little Dorrit' has spent her childhood behind the heavy, iron doors of Marshalsea Prison. But will a chance meeting change her life? Andrew Davies' gripping new series brings to life DickensÆ classic tale of hardship and struggle in 1820s London, where larger-than-life characters leap from rags to riches (and back again), and fortunes can be reversed in an instant.<BR> <BR><BR>Returning home after many years abroad, Arthur Clennam is surprised by the mysterious presence of Amy Dorrit, a young seamstress, in his mother's house.

  • Excellent adaptation of a excellent Dickens' story.

    I am a Dickens reader. But I often find his stories present information in a rather confusing order and often struggle to see how they are related to the main story. This BBC video set ( from the TV series ) puts all this right. The actors are all well cast as main characters in the story, the sets are good and the storyline has been slightly re-ordered to make the plot much easier to follow. Read the book , it is one of Dickens' better stories IMO , but also see the BBC version which makes it all so much better

  • Excellent will buy other titles by Dickens

    Just brilliant. Will watch over and over again. It is so refreshing to see and hear a Dvd that has no gutter language.

  • The best dramatisation of this amazing story ever!

    Little Dorrit - a classic Dickensian tale of wicked treachery and vile satanic cruelty – is the book that propelled the abolition of ‘debtors prisons’. Full of colloquialisms now deeply rooted in common parlance - such as ‘feint heart never won fair maid’; ‘what’s love got to do with it’; ‘fortune favours the brave’ and many more - this riveting dramatisation of Dickens amazing gut-wrenching story pulls you right in from the onset. Have a box of tissues on hand – a handkerchief doesn’t cut it.

  • Little delight

    Excellent Dickensian drama with an all star cast, superb production and great acting. Also some very nice location work in Italy half way through , which makes a refreshing change of the drab London setting. A clever and powerful story.

  • It takes 14 chapters to unravel the whole story, worth every minute!

    If you need characters with substance this is it! My favorite movie of all time.
