Having many successful versions of this immortal Charles Dickens's book, the BBC made in for TV presented as series, the writer Sarah Phelps introduces some slight changes on the original story, as the black character as Nancy, also on Bill Sakes as a remorseful guy, the full length offer enables us know more hidden details if someone hadn't an opportunity to read the book, according Sara the book is too much complex at first reading, sometimes stuck and often hook you again, they made a good job indeed, nearest on the best previous adaptations, for me allowed me learn about the misbegotten Fagin which was splendidly personified by the bulky and remarkable actor Timothy Spall, a role at his size, here ushered more human than others early versions, introducing his religion's roots as true Jewish, revealing multiple layers from the odd Fagin, displaying his chatting with the black bird Ezekiel, funny and weird, the boy William Miller was perfectly cast to play Oliver and Adam Arnold as Artful Dodger staggered us with a haughty acting, Tom Hardy is another high point to share, he is bad as hell, however after his blood boils up hereupon making harshness, afterwards he recovers your mind softy, extraordinary adaptation from BBC that requires to everyone takes a look!!

This was an enjoyable version that held my attention despite familiarity with the material. It was more detailed than most dramatisations. Timothy Spall was very good. I had some problems with it, however:
* The music was intrusive.
* Bill Sikes was well acted, but seemed, unless my eyes deceived me, to have perfectly plucked eyebrows. After so much effort was taken with makeup (especially teeth), this was strange.
* Julian Rhind-Tutt was weak as Monks, and his hair seemed out of period.
* Edward Fox has become a mannered caricature of himself.

I'm surprised that this adaptation of the Dickens classic has received so many negative reviews and that there are comparisons with the musical which is a whole different type of production. All the performances are very strong, although I think that the Artful Dodger could do with a few more acting lessons. I thought that Tom Hardy, Sophie Okonedo and Timothy Spall were particularly outstanding. Viewers seem to expect the characters to be fairly one-dimensional and stereotyped - just because Bill Sykes is a psychopath doesn't mean he has to yell all the time! I think that the director did a good job of portraying the harshness and grime of Victorian London and the cruelty and depravity of the era also. I don't want to see Dickens adaptations through a soft focus lens, this is what I want from a period piece. I do agree about the randomness of the music though.
A wonderful and very modern retelling of a classic story. Quirky and charming in equal measures, this particular take on Oliver Twist is a worthy watch indeed, and even riveting at times. If you happen to come across a copy in your local video shop, I will personally vouch for this title as money well spent.
Though just a miniseries, I and several friends of mine all agreed that this adaptation of the Charles Dickens' novel may well have stood itself in good stead on the big screen. Sharp and clever pacing makes sure the viewers attention is continually upheld and a bouncing, almost vaudevillian soundtrack is used to wonderful effect (note the fantastic opening credits). The portrayal of London's squalid tenements are vividly painted in their every frame; costume and make-up were very skillfully handled.
Performances, on the whole, lean towards sparkling. Timothy Spall stole the show in his portrayal of Fagin; Tom Hardy made a startling and utterly believable turn as Bill Sikes. The female roles were excellently cast - Sophie Okonedo shone as the ill-fated Nancy; Morven Christie played the character of Rose with grace and heart; and Sarah Lancashire, in the role of Mrs Corny, was quite frankly fantastic. William Miller handled the role of Oliver admirably, never overacting - his utterance of the infamous "Please, sir, I want some more" sets the tone of his performance from the start.
I would urge anyone who asked to seek this title out. If the mixed reviews have left you doubting, ignore them. Grab a copy and make up your own mind. Gritty, smart, stylish and poignant, Coky Giedroyc and Sarah Phelps have birthed a winner in their adaptation of Oliver Twist. A gem.

Awesome version of a classic! Costumes, scenery, acting, all phenomenal. Very good production. Definitely the best version of Oliver Twist out there. Wish the same crew would make a version of all the Charles Dickens classics!

- ErroresRose sings and plays the hymn "Abide With Me". The words were not written until 1847, and the tune wasn't published until 1861, in the classic "Hymns Ancient and Modern". This song did not exist at the time Oliver Twist takes place.
