Nick Nickleby
Part 1 (of 5)
BBC daytime gets all clever-like with this modern-day adaption of Charles Dickens' novel The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. It does feel conspicuously like a Victorian novel relocated to the present day, in spite of updates to the story to make it more relevant (transposing private boarding schools for elderly care homes, for instance); and despite their aim to make primetime-worthy drama for daytime, it looks quite cheap and, for want of a better word, daytime-y. Valiant effort though.
