  1. Bleak Expectations is just glorious, in a way BBC Radio 4 does so well (Cabin Pressure is another work of genius you should seek out.) – the villain, played by Tony Head, (Giles from Buffy, King Uther from Merlin) is deliciously evil. It’s all very silly, and full of in-jokes for fans of Dickens and general Victorian fiction, but really well-done.

    I remember being disappointed they didn’t take the TV series further – it had unrealised potential; you only have to look at that cast to see what could have been done with it!

  2. Omg, thank you! Having the same, “how did I not know about this?…..wait….new series to binge!” moment!
