It's difficult to imagine any dramatisation of 'Bleak House' being better done. The cast is uniformly excellent and the adaptation successfully captures the 'page-turner' quality of the book. Not to be missed.

DVD : Bleak House [2005]
I am surprised that only one reviewer briefly mentioned the backing soundtrack. It is over-bearing and jars the viewing of the excellent acting. It never ceases to amaze me how superb acting is drowned in a morass of noise in this production. Why do they do it? It might just be me but I could not watch this for more than 20 minutes at a time as I got so annoyed by the less than subtle background noises and had to go to do something else. It seemed so incongruous to have a soundtrack blasting out and more suitable to a cheap adventure show than to this Victorian classic. Does every show have to have these ridiculous noises that presumably are to show you where the dramatic bits are? Just some advice to the sound effects people - I do not need your ... Read More:

I first saw this fine series watching a friend's DVD, upscaled on a PS3 on my 1080p TV. It looked perfectly fine, and my partner and me loved it. It's a wonderful show with all-round incredible performances from every single actor. The script is wonderful and the direction and production design second to none. That's why we bought it ourselves on Blu-ray. And wow. While the DVD looked very good indeed, we could not believe just how crystal clear it looks on Blu-ray. It's quite breath-taking, and I'm not just saying that. The series is shot with vast amounts of black and a very muted colour palette, which can often lend itself to graininess when dealing with older material shot on film. Bleak House was shot with HD cameras and the results are here for ... Read More:

This adaption I watched on television and remained avidly attentive to my silver screen. Dickens has a knack of reeling you in, getting to know and understand each character, and even feeling for them, including the bad guys, after all, it's nothing personal.
This adaption allows us to see the lives of different people from different backgrounds interacting and crossing over with each other, needing strengths from some and strengthening others.
The leading lady is strong, independent, determined and above all kind, yet is the perfect lady in her time. She is loved and respected by many, yet underneath it all, there is a meekness and insecurity about her which is within us all. Yet her conviction outweighs such.
I will not spoil ... Read More:
