PBS Schedules BBC Little Dorrit, Starts Sunday March 29

The UK Guardian says, "The BBC has dramatised a fable for our times."

Of course, they got a little lucky with that. This series started in Britain not long after the begin of our economic meltdown and both the financial and entertainment press noticed that congruence.

Here's the trailer for Little Dorrit, based on the Dickens novel, starting March 29 on PBS, though you should check your own TV listings as there are occasionally variations.

The cast is major, MAJOR indeed, and readers of this blog will recognize Eve Myles from Torchwood, Ruth Jones (how I love me some Ruth Jones) from Gavin & Stacy, Freema Agyeman from Doctor Who, Russell Tovey from Being Human (soon on BBC America), Judy Parfitt, Matthew Macfayden and Tom Courtney, among others.
