User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A different view than expected but very enjoyable. Count on BBC
We have ordered many of the classics and find that the BBC productions are usually far and away better than others. The Dicken’s Collection is a must have

5 Stars superbly told version of the classic novel
After renting this series from my local library, I decided to purchase it along with the rest of the Charles Dickens collections, all of which were also enjoyable. I found the novel a bit difficult to understand and at times boring, but this production really made the story come alive. I was not bored at all while watching the series, and would recommend that Charles Dickens fans see this series. The acting is great throughout the film, especially Maggie Smith as the aunt. Daniel Radcliff also does an excellent job as the young David. The costumes in the movie were also splendid to look at. The series really helps you to identify with the characters and understand the world as it was during the time period.

5 Stars Great Series
This collection is made up from a TV series from the way it plays. In other words episode start, serial, episode ending and credits. That is the downside when you want to watch “Great Expectations” or others unbroken from start to finish. It would have been a good idea for the DVD producers to have editted all this out. Otherwise, this series is probably the best among many that have been produced in the last 3 decades. Still some of the older black-white movies such as Scrooge made in the 50’s manage to grasp the ambience of living and other conditions in Dicken’s time. This is not a bad effort though and is money well spent. Importantly there is no embellishment of the script and faithfully follows Dickens’s books, (with good value too).

5 Stars Good condition, shipped fast
The item arrived within 3 days which was less than the estimated shipping time. It arrived without incident and in peak condition.

5 Stars Charles Dickens Collection Volume 2
These DVDs were bought for my wife and she has really enjoyed them. She said the quality of the movies was very good and she hopes you will have other BBC productions in the near future featuring other Charles Dickens works.

From my point of view about ordering from Amazon is how easy it is to look for and order movies that you cannot buy in local stores. Thank you.
