highly recommended

A commence, brutal and passionate take of greed and love in Victorian England. A top-notch cast of veteran actors and rising young newcomers shines in a lavish new British production of the Charles Dickens classic. The hero, a penniless young gentleman, struggles to make his way in the world and protect his mother and sister, meeting up with the worst and best of humanity along the way. Charles Dance (The Jewel in the Crown) stars as Ralph Nickleby, with James D'Arcy (Rebel Heart) as Nicholas and Sophia Myles (Mansfield Park) as his beautiful sister, Kate. Other standouts include Lee Ingleby (Ever After) as Smike, Nicholas' faithful companion, and Dominic West (28 Days) as the lecherous Sir Mulberry Hawk.

Nicholas Nickelby

I throughly enjoyed this version of Nicholas Nickely with John Dallimore. A great performance, cast and backdrops. A truly entertaining film!

Dickens wrtiting and BBC Production....Brilliant

My Wife saw this at the library and borrowed it, well....we then had to buy it !!!
The BBC have remained true to the Dickens classics and Nicholas Nickleby is one of the best. This is a two part series and I am so glad I watched it on DVD, I would have hated to have to wait 24 hrs or (God forbid) a week) to see the 2nd installment. Thoroughly enjoyable with brilliant acting, directing and set and costume design.
Dickens classic characters are all brought to life with all human foibles such as meanness, pathos despair, high camp (the Shakespearean Actors are just hilarious).
Just sit back for a few hours and enjoy !!!

If you don't understand Dallimore, you don't understand Dickens...

I have seen only two adaptions of the classic Charles Dickens novel "The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby" and I must say that between this and the dreaded Charlie Huffman version. This one is superior. In this miniseries, everything is accomplished. Is it complete faithfully? No, not in a sense. Does it truly capture a Dickens enviorment? Yes! My major complaint about the 2002 version was that not only was it completely unfaithful but it did not capture the feeling you are suppose to get when you watch a Dickens adapation. From actors to costumes and to costumes to set design and to set design to music. This adapation does everything right.
