Little Dorrit
Sunday 26 October
8:00pm - 9:00pm
BBC1
Good news for lovers of Dickens on TV: this latest dramatisation includes the regulation quota of Alun Armstrong, sporting a magnificent haircut as Mr Flintwinch and growling like something out of Big Cat Live. More good news: if you loved Bleak House, this is built along similar lines, to be broadcast, after tonight's hour-long opener, in twice-weekly, half-hour chunks. The story involves the benevolent Arthur Clennam (Matthew Macfadyen) on a mission to right a mysterious wrong from his family's past. "Put it right . . ." his father whispers on his deathbed, but exactly what the "it" is, only his severe mother (all fingerless lace gloves and icy disdain) seems to know, and she's not telling. Meanwhile, sweet-natured Amy Dorrit (Claire Foy) takes care of her self-deluded old father within the confines of Marshalsea debtors' prison, though her path and Arthur's are to cross soon enough. Andy Serkis plays a dark and devious French murderer and despite only brief time on screen, threatens to steal the show. He'll have to fight Armstrong for it.
