Absolutely fantastic, the cast, the characters are just amazing. The very best of British and so clever to combine different characters for this series 10 out of 10

I found this series thoroughly engaging and well done. I found it exciting and riveting, especially because the story is based on, or the more accurate versions of Dickens stories and then combines them. I love it! I would LOVE to see a second series where we follow Scrooge through his journey with the Ghost of present, past and future! I MUST know what happens to Arthur! Will Amelia remain in her dining room forever like that? Will she ever forgive Arthur and take him back into her heart? What about Honoria!? Will she find out what Francis has done? Wll she be reunited with her lovely man and their living child? where do the lawyer take the child? And most of all, What will become of Oliver? Will he eventually find his true family? The little actor who plays him is SO SO SO adorable I wish I could adopt that little boy and shower him in love and care!!

has turned out to be almost quite annoying to watch, the storyline is has become predictable and shallow following the same thing these last few episodes, it could have been great had the story taken a more realistic path, I love a good mystery and with an added twist including certain characters but it has gone past my expectation of what is reasonable and has become nonsense.Something or someone needed to be exposed to maintain my interest and now it is just bordering on silly, lets keep people on the edge no matter what, like I said annoying and unrealisticOn a positive - great acting and roles befitting of each character but not sure I am going to watch the next three episodes because it has become ......... a none event

I must admit to being highly sceptical by the whole premise surrounding Dickensian. Having studied several of the great works for English lit the thought of combining characters seemed like a grand scale disaster, but to my utter amazement, it's cohesive, logical and has become utterly addictive viewing. I find the scheduling a little all over the place, it seems to go out at random times, so I enjoy catching up with it at work having lunch.Fantastic production values as one would expect from the BBC, the camera work is slick, the costumes and sets are world class, but it's the scripts and the acting that are making the show for me, am loving Anton Lesser's Fagin, and Ned Dennehy's interesting portrayal of Scrooge. I barely recognised Caroline Quentin.I appreciate the subtle touches of humour too, it could have easily been grim viewing, but far from it. Love it. 8/10
