It’s astounding that “Little Dorritt” is considered one of Dicken’s lesser-known works when it obviously belongs among the top five. This present Masterpiece production is superb. These actors embody the characters perfectly..almost effortlessly. You have to be a heartless soul indeed not to be moved by the plight of the Dorrit family during their debtor’s prison years. Clair Foy’s portrayal of the title charactor is both steadfast and endearing. You cannot help but wish the best for her–and everyone she loves. As usual, Victorian England’s greatest novelist has populated this, (as he does with ALL his brilliant works) with a veritable universe of repugnant villians, opportunistic connivers, hapless innocents and near-saints who live out their portion of literary immortality with un-smudged dignity. Those connected with this television production have much to be proud of…
Bravo!

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence then that about half the cast of Little Dorrit shows up in the new Law & Order UK! (Freema Agyeman plays a Crown Prosecutor and Bill Paterson plays her boss, and I keep waiting for him to say to her, “Count to five and twenty, Tattycoram!”)
