Boasting an all star cast including Gillian Anderson, Denis Lawson, Charles Dance, Alistair McGowan, Pauline Collins, Johnny Vegas and many more, this ground-breaking adaptation of one of Dickens' most celebrated novels is by the BAFTA award-winning team of writer Andrew Davies (Pride & Prejudice, The Way We Live Now, Vanity Fair) and producer Nigel Stafford-Clark (Warriors, The Way We Live Now, He Knew He Was Right).
Arguably the greatest ever depiction of Victorian London, Bleak House is at heart a thrilling murder mystery. The drama was adapted as a 15-part story, using the pace, multiple storylines and cliff-hanger endings more usually associated with popular drama, echoing the way in which Charles Dickens originally published the story in 19 monthly installments.
This classic epic feast of characters and storylines is also a passionate indictment of the legal system making it as relevant and achingly compelling today as it was in the mid-19th Century. At the recent BAFTA's this adaptation won awards for Best Drama Serial and Best Actress (Anna Maxwell Martin).
