Bleak House
Sundays, January 22 — February 26, 2006 at 9pm on PBS
Charles Dickensâ complex tale of young love, murder, and the quest for a mystery-manâs identity unfolds in a thrilling six-part adaptation by screenwriter Andrew Davies. Bleak House features some of the most famous plot twists in literary history, including a case of human spontaneous combustion and an infamous inheritance dispute that is tied up for generations in the dysfunctional English courts, while lawyers consume the assets. The star-studded cast includes Charles Dance (The Jewel in the Crown, Gosford Park), Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Nathaniel Parker (Inspector Lynley Mysteries), Anna Maxwell Martin (Enduring Love), and scores of other masters of Dickensian disguise.
