BBC ARENA - DICKENS ON FILM

You will probably be aware that the two-part Mystery of Edwin Drood - with the final solution! - starts on BBC 2 at 9pm on Tuesday 10 January. Switch to BBC4 at 10pm for an Arena programme of Dickens on Film, an inventive, stylised documentary by Michael Eaton and Adrian Wootton. Some DF members saw the preview of this at the BFI recently and will confirm that it is well worth watching.

(For further information about the BFI Dickens series, visit the BFI website: /www.bfi.org.uk. The season lasts until March, and the BFI is offering a special discount to Fellowship members (see blog below.)
