Really good dramatisation - By: AgentMulderUK, 26 Feb 2010 
Reallly good dramatisation of Dickens' book. Presented "soap opera" style with associated cliffhangers, as Dickens used to produced a lot of his work in exactly that format.
Some top performances from some very good actors & actresses.
A little confusing at first if you've not read the book, but alll becomes clear in time.
Brilliant - By: N. P. Ciccone, 11 Feb 2010 I was only able to catch some of the episodes when shown on t/v but could not wait to buy the DVD set, now I have it & cannot stop watching it. Giving me much pleasure everytime I do. Marvellous story, brilliant acting, truly atmospheric, a master piece. Five star plus.
Bleak House - By: Mr. David Murray, 07 Feb 2010 
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. BBC drama at its best. Superb acting & direction & outstanding screenplay. Just stunning.
One caveat - By: Pen Name, 25 Jan 2010 Overalll, I would agree with the five-star reviews. However, I find the direction & editing ill-advised & misguided, what with alll the zooming in & out accompanied by fashionable & inappropriate horror & crime sound effects, the Dogma-type camera trying to keep up with the characters, the fast cutting between unwarranted close-ups etc., alll of which is only redeemed by the superb acting - which again unfortunatly is, particularly at the beginning (before one gets used to zoom zap whip wollop twang), undercut by the camerawork.
452 minutes of heaven! - By: Mr. M. J. Brownlee Walker, 25 Jan 2010 I had heard that this dramatisation was good but I wasn't prepared to be blown off my feet as I was. An excellent cast & production. I'm going to watch Little Dorrit next. But the bar has been set very high with Bleak House!
