Here we go, a whole topic to discuss the soon to come BBC dramatisation of Little Dorrit, with Bill Paterson and a whole bunch of other fantastic actors! Wasn't sure if this should go in 'Other TV shows' or the 'Douglas/Bill' forum, so, erm, if it needs to be moved my apologies! Info: Little Dorrit is a forthcoming television serial, written by Andrew Davies and based on the novel by Charles Dickens. The production follows the great success of Bleak House. Filming began 28 April 2008 in the UK, with Claire Foy playing the title role. Little Dorrit will begin broadcast on BBC One on 26 October 2008, and will be in soap opera format with 14 half-hour episodes. For American audiences, Little Dorrit will be broadcast on PBS's Masterpiece during the Winter/Spring 2009 season. Cast Arthur Clennam Matthew Macfadyen Mrs. Clennam Judy Parfitt Amy Dorrit Claire Foy William Dorrit Tom Courtenay Edward "Tip" Dorrit Arthur Darvill Fanny Dorrit Emma Pierson Frederick Dorrit James Fleet Mr Merdle Anton Lesser Mrs Merdle Amanda Redman Edmund Sparkler Sebastian Armesto Rigaud Andy Serkis Flora Finching Ruth Jones Christopher Casby John Alderton Tite Barnacle Robert Hardy Tite Barnacle, Jr. Darren Boyd Henry Gowan Alex Wyndham Mr Meagles Bill Paterson Mrs Meagles Janine Duvitski Minnie "Pet" Meagles Georgia King Tattycoram Freema Agyeman Miss Wade Maxine Peake Pancks Eddie Marsan Mr F's Aunt Annette Crosbie Jeremiah/Ephraim Flintwinch Alun Armstrong Affery Flintwinch Sue Johnston Daniel Doyce Zubin Varla Mr Plornish Jason Watkins Mrs Plornish Rosie Cavaliero Mr Chivery Ron Cook John Chivery Russell Tovey Mrs General Pam Ferris Cavalletto Jason Thorpe Maggy Eve Myles Monsieur Henri Stephane Cornicard Harris Mackenzie Crook Poyner Amanda Lawrence Errand Boy Elliot Francis (The characters Harris and Poyner do not appear in the book.) Sounds brilliant! |

I know! It's great, of course, since Dickens's novels always have such a wide range of interesting, weird and wonderful characters. |

So what did everyone think? I thought it was a great start to a series, Bill had a good part so far and everyone was top notch acting wise.

Generally very sympathetic to beloni

Even though I missed the first bit (something with a baby?) It was very enjoyable. Yes, Charles Dickens' stories are always great (Have you seen Bleak House, Untoldlove?) Andy Serkis was fantastic! |

it took a bit for me to get into, and for the story to get going, but it was good I dunno, still not quite up there with Cranford yet. That was awesome!Bill was so sweet, is his character like that all the way? |

I thoroughly enjoyed it too, I never did see Bleak House, but if it was as well produced as this, I can see why everyone raved on about it ![]() Ahh, Cranford, I have a special place in my heart for that series! |

Too little of Bill but enjoyable none the less! |

Aw, I think Bill got a reasonable part so far. Not enough Russell Tovey, I say! but Matthew Macfadyen made up for that.....

On the official website I saw that Zubin Varla has a part too! What a surprise, he's fantastic as Judas on my Jesus Christ Superstar cd! He has an amazing voice! |

Hehe! Agreed I've had a crush on Matthew Macfadyen ever since seeing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOCL_NEgf0gHe's got such a lovely voice, and I love that sonnet.... even if it is actually supposed to be for another man, not a girl. |

That's lovely. Anyway, I enjoyed episode one, I took a while to warm up to it as well, I'm not sure why, but I think I'll enjoy to upcoming episodes more so. And of course, Bill was tremendous. |
