Bleak House Dec 20

I really enjoyed the Beeb’s Bleak House adaption, which ended last week. The finale was a little disappointing – nice characters dying, villains not getting their comeuppances – but perhaps if it had been an entirely happy ending, tying up all of the loose ends, I’d be saying it was unrealistic.

Either way, I won’t be shopping at either for the rest of 2005. That’ll learn ’em.
