Any good ones? I love many of the BBC Dickens adaptations - Little Dorrit and Bleak House especially.
I saw a terrible adaptation of Wilkie Collins' The Woman In White where they cut out loads of great characters and crowbarred in some paedophilia sub-plot that wouldn't have been a major concern in 1860.
A couple of okay-ish made-for-TV two-parters were okay, if a bit long and comprehensive - Moby Dick, King Solomon's Mines.
Still I like these - if they're good they're highly involving and it means the little woman and I can watch something together we can both agree on and therefore makes the experience more sociable than reading.
