There are so many characters that are memorable in it. I recommend it

The book is excellent as well! Even a long mini-series cannot cover all the sub-plots and side-stories. In the Diana Rigg version, they dropped Mrs. Jellyby altogether. But yes, the characters are great. Haven't we all known a Skimpole somewhere along the way?

I really enjoyed Mr Smallweed. “Shake me up, Judy! Oh my bones!” Smallweed is played by Phil Davis who played the villain Sherlock’s ‘Study in Pink’ and the long-suffering Judy is played by Louise Brealey who also made it into the Sherlock series as Molly. In fact you’ll see a lot of familiar faces.

As for Skimpole he makes it almost to the last frame, the look on Esther Summerson’s (Anna Martin) face is great. And yes, I’ve encountered a Skimpole along the way.
