Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)At last on DVD, Charles Dickens' "Pickwick Papers" is brought to life in this great BBC double-sided disc. With a playing time of about six hours, there is much more detail than is to be found in the 1952 film version. And the characters look just like those by Phiz in the original nineteenth century illustrations. The pacing and dialogue is near perfect. The sets and location shots are wonderful. The disc is divided into twelve 30 minute episodes with opening and closing credits between each episode. There's also a bonus feature with Simon Callow doing a reading (in full Dickens garb) of the courtroom scenes from the story. I highly recommend this DVD.
