Just as Charles Dickens couldn’t have imagined television in the 1800s, nowadays you just can’t imagine TV without exceptional dramatisations of his books.
Great Expectations was a huge hit with viewers over Christmas and The Mystery of Edwin Drood made us want more. So Radio Times and BBC Worldwide have teamed up to give away 15 copies of the very best Dickens TV in a special 200th Anniversary Collection DVD box set.
Four of the BBC’s most acclaimed Dickens dramatisations are featured in full: Bleak House, Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit and the new Great Expectations.
But we want to know what you like about the adaptations of the great writer's works.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply take part in the poll below, then email us with the completed tiebreaker: "What the Dickens! I deserve to win a box set because..." The closing date is Tuesday 24 January 2011.
