There's a jolly good radio adaptation of "Little Dorrit" on the BBC iPlayer at the moment, by the way, narrated by Sir Ian McKellen, if anyone's interested.
Yes, it really is excellent too, great stuff - can't fault it.

And I would go for "Pickwick Papers" by a whisker, over "Great Expectations".
Never really enjoyed "A Tale of 2 Cities", found it a bit obvious as a callow 11 year-old, and been unable to overcome that since.

Although the BBC did do a very good adaptation........
