Acclaimed writer Andrew Davies turns his talents to one of Charles Dicken's most brilliant novels arguably the greatest ever depiction of Victorian London, from its glittering heights to its very lowest depths adapting it into a series of half hour episodes. At the court of Chancery, the interminable suit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce becomes the centre of a web of relationships at all levels from aristocrat Sir Leicester Dedlock, to Little Jo, the lowly crossing sweeper and a metaphor for the decay and corruption at the heart of English society. A skillfully crafted thriller an epic feast of characters and storylines and a passionate indictment of the legal system, Bleak House is as searingly relevant today as it was in the mid 19th Century.
