Brief synopsis of Bleak House - HD DVD Version

From the fog and squalor of Victorian London to the idyllic tranquillity of rural England, Dickens' tale of tragedy, intrigue and love, and stinging satire on the English legal system, is faithfully recreated in this BBC drama series. The story closely follows the characters involved in the infamous court case of Jarndyce versus Jarndyce that relies heavily on the production of an up-to-date will in order to settle the inheritance. Three young people are taken in by the generous guardian John Jarndyce to be cared for at Bleak House while they await the outcome of the court case. Meanwhile a ruthless lawyer is determined to find out the truth surrounding the Lady Dedlock's mysterious past and after deep investigation he makes a discovery that changes all their lives.

Rated - 5 starsBleak House

A customer from Leics , 12/10/2007

I caught a couple of episodes of this when it was shown on tv, and have since been luckly enough to see the full production.

Words cannot describe how good it was, a quality production with a number of faces you would not normally associate with this genre. A stunning quality drama a must for anyone with an interest in either the book or these type of period dramas.

Rated - 5 starsDon't depend on Tesco sending the second disc within 6 months

Excellent series but have been waiting for weeks and weeks for the second disc so have lost the initial enthusiasm. Apparently availability is the issue. Maybe they should buy more copies. Get it elsewhere if you want the continuity the series deserves.
