Bleak House is a BBC television drama first broadcast in 1985. The serial was adapted by Arthur Hopcraft from the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House (1853).[1]
The series was the second adaptation of Bleak House by the BBC (the first being in 1959).[2] It ran for eight episodes and starred Diana Rigg as Lady Dedlock, with Denholm Elliott in the role of John Jarndyce.[3]
In the United States, the series ran under the Masterpiece Theatre series umbrella.[4]
A notable plot omission in this version is the story of Caddy Jellyby and the Turveydrop family.
As opposed to the standard of videotape for studio-based scenes and film for location-based scenes, the series was shot entirely on 16mm colour film.
