In this mad world of commercialism where countries resemble corporations rather than a community, this forever lost old England engenders a feeling of deep sadness in my heart.

You havent understood Dickens at all have you. He himself had experienced the harshness of Victorian life. His father had been thrown into debtors prison and he sent to work to pay off the debts and support his family. Oliver Twist isnt a musical. Its a novel about poverty, the cruelty of the workhouse system. Christmas Carol is about greed and stupidity. About how a family is important. How giving repays the giver. A bit syrupy though. He writes about cruelty to children, snobbishness. He was a social reformer.
Also this was the era where factory owners exploited their workforce until middle class politicians (yes the reviled middle class) brought in laws eg to prevent 5 yr olds from working in mills and mines.
Oh yes. Victorian values when women were still legally the chattels of their husbands. Where servants including young maids of 12 were up at 5 am cleaning, polishing, laying fires, working in kitchens so that the house was clean and warm for the 'master and mistress when they got up. These same servants often did not getbto bed till the small hours if their bosses were entertaining or out on the town.
Very well said. Unfortunately, many when they grow old harp to times they believe were happier, but what's the betting it wasn''t such fun for their parents. I grew up in the 50s when you physically worked for pocket money, but I was young healthy and lived in the countryside, nevertheless my mother struggled, growing up with lousy access to proper health care and maternity services. @@helenamcginty4920
@helenamcginty4920 True but there is camaraderie here.
That's true, mind you needed to keep your spirits up as without antibiotics you would be unlikely to survive typhoid, cholera, flu, polio, yellow fever, smallpox etc. Although if you had a few bob there was always cures like opium, cocaine, camphor, arsenic or disinfectant (carbolic, chlorine etc.). Peasants always had gin of course.

I love the book, but it is a true pleasure to see The Pickwick Papers on film. Beautifully done!
Big fan of the book here too, but i think that there are so many details in the text that it is nearly impossible to make a film out of it. Still a great try! Well-chosen actors for the characters and beautiful set decoration.
Hola. Soy Argentina y amo a Charles Dickens, este es uno de mis libros favoritos de él. Me sacó muchas sonrisas y me alegraba el día. Fue un placer para mi, leerlo. ❣️❤️🥰
I was always told in High school english classes (over 50 years ago) that it is better to read the book than watch a movie of the same. With something like the Pickwick Papers - it seems that a book can never get the accurate tone of voice unless you know the culture very well. For novels and plays , especially of past times and for new arrivals, if I was a teacher I would recommend seeing the movie or play first and then reading the book.
I can't recall how many novels we read in school that barely dented the surface of my ignorance. You've "got to know the territory" and the movie helps so much. I always had a hard time knowing when the writing was humorous. I was raised in the english language but it is still subtle. And I still can't understand the rules of spelling. A teacher I know told me once there are over 800 rules. I can remember maybe two or three. The rest seem to me to be exceptions.
But now I watch the movie and forget to read the book. Or it's some other book.
I loved this series and especially Samivel Weller. And there is Richard Bucket too 😊👍
Mind the pedestrian Mr. Tupman.
@@InfidelioClive Swift, one of my favourite actors. Sadly no longer with us.
15 min in and I'm not sure I have any idea what is going on but I'm enjoying it
Thank you from Moscow.
Hi, Natalya!
Sending greetings to Moscow from Slovenia
I really enjoyed watching this depiction of The Pickwick Papers quite a long time and was looking for it thank you for sharing this love this version Dear Mr Pickwick’s adventures with his friends
This series is so well done. It`s such a pleasure to watch it.
Thank you for uploading all the parts in two videos.
The quality is fantastic.
That makes it so much easier to enjoy.❤
Thank you very much🙏
So fun to see Patrick Malahide and Clive Swift in very different characters than their later more famous roles.
The scene where Weller is questioned by Pickwick, Wardle and Perker was a perfect representation of the orignal illustration from the book, entitled "First appearance of Mr Samual Weller". This was very well done.
This is very enjoyable and so well done. My favourite actor is the fella who plays Sam Weller - SO GOOD - the personality, the acting, everything!
Saw this seveal times on dvd from the liabrary, then on youtube then it disappeared!! So glad i found it again!!
The DVD is still available if it disappears again.
I only wish that Tupman and Rachel did marry. 😊 Thank you so much for this; I really love watching it! This simple world of politeness and kindness and respect for each other and the way men took care of the ladies….. I love that!
Enjoying this production very much.
It is remarkable.
Mr. Pickwick In “Tights” 🎭
What a concept of life Mr Dickson must have had good dreams as will as bad.i am in my upper 50s and experiences the writtens of his dark thoughts.thank you .
What fun!
I remember this series when originally broadcast and I thought it superb.However,one thing I noticed but none of the passengers ever did,was the absence of the guard on the stagecoach.Instead, Mr.Picwick sat in the guard's seat at the back of the coach.
Have this on DVD now.
This is just wonderful - and no awful, incongruous DEI castings.
The book is far more interesting and enjoyable. I have read it many times over. I can't imagine all that world and all those characters which Dickens brought to life on pages being transformed on the screen with the same vivacity and animation.
The Pickwick Papers (1952) 6.9
The Pickwick Club sends Mr. Pickwick and a group of friends to travel across England and to report back on the interesting things they find. In the course of their travels, they repeatedly encounter the friendly but disreputable Mr. Jingle, who becomes a continual source of trouble for all who know him. Pickwick himself is the victim of a number of misunderstandings that bring him both embarrassment and problems with the law.
The music sounds very similar to the 1995 production/mini-series of ‘Pride & Prejudice’.
Good catch, though I have no idea if this is true. 🤔
@@larryparis925 I looked it up. Carl Davis was the composer in each of the series.
Is it called The Pickwick Paper (sic.) because this is only part one?
Poor Mr. Tupman. 🥲
"The license! Take the lady - change the name - do for Tuppy!"
In the book he just disappears.
@sandraelder1101 - I know. B^(
@@stephenreeds3632 I didn’t remember that. Been too many years since I read the book. Thanks.
Just makes me hungry. All that scoffing.
Like Oliver.
The Brazil Thanks pelo movie I am teacher my alunos tv movie Thanks ❤❤
It's PAPERS, with an "S", not PAPER !😊
2:45 I imagine if Humpty Dumpty had legs he'd look like this fellow. 😉
Oops! I thought this was the GOOD version of Pickwick Papers! My mistake!
charming and endearing, regardless of the gender depictions.
It was written 1837! What do you expect? Miss Pickwick, Samantha Weller? This is an excellent and very accurate depiction of the first Dickens that I read. Have you read it?
When men were men and women were women??? Like now??
Boo-hoo!
It depicted the world as it has been for millennia and will be again once this insane post-modernist fad has fizzled out. I would imagine in will give future authors an extremely rich seem of comic material - so we won’t have suffered entirely in vain.
@@Eustace.h.plimsoll6625 Not sure what your 'insane post modernist fad' phrase implies?

20 minutes in and theres no clear plot.
@jaellouis4749 - It is episodic, like "Jane Eyre", though both had a few threads that followed throughout. It was originally published, 1836-1837, in 20 individual installments. (That made books far more affordable to all.) After the serial's run, it was combined into a novel in 1837. I love the book and have read it several times. I hope this film measures up to Dickens' social satire and comedic genius.
Dull
@PM2022- If you knew the social background of Dickensian England, the author's sharp cultural eye, and leaned into the absurdity, you would enjoy it more. Or maybe not.
Charles Dickens was every bit a genius as Jane Austen and William Shakespeare.
@@MossyMozart I'm a die-hard Dickens fan, and I'm thankful that this series has been uploaded. But I am finding the series dull.
For those without humour .. but . English humour is an acquired taste that many Europeans do not comprehend
More like the dull are entertained by dull--and it is not as if the English, including Dickens, lack in humour that can only be grasped by the English.@@mavisemberson8737

What a statement.
How can you say such a thing?
Let's assume for a minute that you ate right.
How then, do you account for all the many millions of non-English readers and viewers, who love British productions?
