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.
