I'm disappointed about Dodger not being a kid. And there I was, just moments away from choosing this as my favorite adaptation of Oliver Twist. D:

Hey! Fagin's lodging looks suprisingly nice and cozy!

If I was able to do it, I would have had Tom Felton for the Artful Dodger.

I swear if that Noah was my son I would have given him a good hiding.

Same here

GOOD FOR OLIVER!!

I like that version of Dodger

The little person, was simply a possible traveling performer, whom anyone could have met on in between a town I suppose, and Fagin was most likely good at all manner of slight of hand, as he taught his 'children' the craft of picking pockets... ....Oh, and Marc Warren truly, truly stole this entire film, and every scene he was in...

I agree, Marc Warren is brilliant in this.

Oh, whoa! I was just watching this then an advert came on the television with music from the film Oliver! Odd... O.o

Fagin always reminded me of Clopin. this portrayal enforces that.

Clopin ran a circus, he gave Gypsies and performers a safe haven. Fagin harboured Criminals, he was a Criminal himself Please don't compare the two again

@ Remi & Kay: The dwarf is a combination of Oliver's friend Dick (the "God bless you" part) and, if I'm remembering correctly, a man near the end of the novel who shows everyone Sykes's blood stained hat. As for Fagin being a magician, it's Bleasdale's attempt to give Fagin more of a back story, as well as add a bit more flare to him.

mmm Marc Warren.....

the newest version is prob my fav not to mention its 3 hours long lmao

I don't think Oliver would follow Dodger if he was an adult Dodger :/

i imagined him twelve years old myself

they needed to stuff in lots of fabrications to make a series out of it

I thought Dodger was always a teenager... he looks like a teenager in this version tbh

dodger seems a bit big

the oly thing i got against this dodger is......WTF WITH THE HAT!!!!

Looks like a fucking farmer.

Dammit, Noah! you're almost as bad as Leeford, maybe even worse.

How is Mr Bumble's wife connected to Oliver's grandfather (the sailor)? Was she the sailor's wife, or sister - and therefore Oliver's grandmother, or great Aunt (although she doesn't know it)? I am very confused.

4:10-4:16 What is wrong with Edward Monks?

He's got epilepsy.

Okay... this is still pretty good, but the artful as an adult??? Half the reason he's so off kilter scary is he's a kid way too experienced for his age. Hate bowdlerization.

Looked forward to seeing this as I love Dickens. V disappointed. Obviously, Dickens is not good enough for Bleasdale. He Dan do better. Fagin as a world renowned magician? Monks' mother? (just an opportunity to use Lindsay Duncan) And of course the inevitable Julie Walters. An insult.
