Our Mutual Friend (Mini-Series) (2 discs)
1998, 350 minutes, Rated M
Across the years BBC Television has consistently looked to the works of Charles Dickens for intelligent, colourful, accessible and popular drama. Dickens' novels are ideal for television - his writing has a great theatrical and visual quality; his stories (written as episodes with their own cliff-hangers) are full of humour, drama and emotion and his characters are three-dimensional and exude personality.
The adaptation in this set feature some of Britain's greatest actors including Michael Hoskins, Maggie Smith, Bob Hoskins, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Eric Porter, Miriam Margolyes, John Le Mesurier, John Mills, Cherie Lunghi, Ian McKellen, Charlotte Rampling, Paul Scofield and many more. The series were all broadcast to great critical and popular acclaim and have since taken their place as a valued part of British television heritage.
"No man knows till the time comes, what depths are within him. To some men it never comes; let them rest and be thankful! To me, you brought it; on me, you forced it; and the bottom of this raging sea has been heaved up ever since."
