Returning from a visit to her daughter in Iraq, Joan Scudamore finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks.

It was very interesting to hear a non crime Agatha Christie novel. The story held my interest and had great psychological and spiritual depth.

Story
Join David as he encounters his eccentric Aunt Betsey, faithful Peggotty and the villainous Uriah Heep, and as he falls in love with Little Em'ly, Dora and Agnes. And then there is old school friend James Steerforth: dashing, daring and seductive. This dramatisation explores the complexities and intimacies of that relationship beyond anything possible in Dickens' day, in an adaptation giving fresh life and vividness to this beloved tale.

First class production standards. Excellent cast, superbly performed.

Excellent drama
Reviewed: 16-02-24
The performances were outstanding, especially Ncuti Gatwa. The script writing is excellent. The changes in plot, from the original novel, were very annoying. I was particularly disappointed by the omission of the character Mr Dick and the show down between Mr Pegarty and Steerforth's aunt - both central to Dickens values of finding the best of humanity in those often looked down on or overlooked.
