As for Skimpole he makes it almost to the last frame, the look on Esther Summerson’s (Anna Martin) face is great.

The Mr. Guppy character is also well-done in the Rigg version.That book is really overflowing with memorable characters.

For an underrated Dickens' book that was well-received in its time but now gets little notice, try "Martin Chuzzlewit". BBC version is fine, too.

Every time I read a Dickens book, I’m amazed at how much I enjoy it. If nothing else, his talent for names!
