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.

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.
