Those BBC series are usually top class containing all the important plot elements and a huge amount of the dialogue as well. I haven't seen
Bleak House yet. {I'll be on the lookout for a DVD of it}
Just out of curiosity, how does Esther seem as a character in the series? Do you find her more believable than in the book. As I said earlier, I really think she should have married John Jarndyce. Allan seems like a superfluous plot driven character added by Dickens to marry Esther off to someone younger than John.
How are the scenes in the slum sections?
