    Making the hero of the story truly awful was one of the worst decisions of this series.

    utty, muscular, textured and with Guy Pearce (imagine! Dishy Mike from Neighbours a Dickensian miser) delivering an intense, complex performance as Scrooge that was restrained enough never to become caricature, but potent enough to make you believe he was a darkened soul who really did despise humanity.

    It ought to be too hammy to hang together, and it would probably have worked as a one-off film rather than the full three-hour mini-series, but I found myself watching, mainly due to the central performances.

    [A] rich, clever, funny and courageous adaptation.
