Oliver Twist (BBC)
Exceptional BBC mini-series adaptation of Dickens' timeless tale, the story of the poor boy who asked for more. Born into a miserable workhouse orphanage, Oliver eventually flees to London, where the cheerful Artful Dodger immediately befriends him and introduces him to the villainous Fagin and his gang of thieves. Temporarily rescued from the prospect of a life of crime by the kindly Mr Brownlow, Oliver finds himself pursued by the savage thief Bill Sikes and the enigmatic Monks.
