Liz Smith reprised her role as Peg Sliderscew in The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (2001), another BBC adaptation of the novel.
Two members of the "Nicholas Nickleby" cast later starred in the classic Britcom "Keeping Up Appearances": Patricia Routledge (Madame Mantalini) and David Griffin (Frank Cheeryble).
Two years later the Royal Shakespeare Company staged an acclaimed and award-winning eight and a half hour, two-part production at the Aldwych theatre, London and later on Broadway.
