Season 2 Review: So, huzzah for the pace and the balls. But boohoo for those who, having hoped for more than merely a louder re-tread of the first series, may now find themselves, as Fagin grumbles at one point, “a bit bleedin’ put out”. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The entire cast (including Tim Minchin as the wonderfully named villain Darius Cracksworth) are having an obvious blast, and snappy editing, the contemporary score and hyperactive directing by Jeffrey Walker help it zip along. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The script isn’t quite as sharp as, say, The Great or David Copperfield, but The Artful Dodger is still tremendously jolly and lots of fun. And completely disgusting. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Artful Dodger presents the adult Oliver in a wholly unflattering light. It’s funny. If only the rest of the series had been. Read full review
