Review of Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist (1999)
9/10
A New All Time High for television drama
30 December 1999
I would have given it a 10, if it weren't for the commercials. Despite that this was the most detailed rendition of Twist I've ever seen, my 11 and 7 year old children were also completely absorbed by it. Where did all these great actors and actresses come from? Julie Walters in a small but masterfully played part was the only one I ever heard of before. Yet all the characterizations were brilliant - especially, perhaps, that of the bad guys: Fagin, Bill Sykes, Mr. Bumble, and Edwin and Elizabeth Leerford. Nancy and Rose were riveting, too. Bravo!
