BBC miniseries of the classic Dickens tale, with Timothy Spall as Fagin. Great production: fun to watch, interesting casting (especially Sophie Okenedo as Nancy), and they incorporated some characters/elements from the books that are often dropped. However, they also dropped other characters/elements from the books, and rewrote some important plot details related to Monks and Rose. Fagin’s Jewishness and discussions/plot points related to that are very highlighted. The costuming was fabulous, with very nice late 1830s (the book was published in 1838!), and I really liked the scum costumes.
