Little Dorrit is my favorite Dickens book. Vastly superior to the more widely read "Tale of Two Cities" and "Oliver Twist". I've seen several of the episodes already (but will watch it again) and have to give kudos to Andrew Davies for making such a huge book entertaining without changing too much.
