Hard Times - Alan Bates, Bob Peck 1994
Excellent adaptation of a classic novel Made for British schools in 1994, this BBC version of HARD TIMES eschews the usual fancy costumes and elaborate sets of most BBC 'classics' and gets down to the story, focussing on the characters and their sometimes tragic lives and decisions. Don't let its origins put you off: this version boasts a cast most big budget films would kill for: Alan Bates, Richard E. Grant, Harriet Walter, Bill Paterson, and the late, great Bob Peck, magnificent as Gradgrind. Anyone tired of the respectful, white-glove treatment classic novels are usually given on TV will find this a refreshing change of pace: angry and passionate and bleak, with flashes of humour and humanity. cast: Harriet Walter .... Rachel Bill Paterson (I) .... Stephen Alex Jennings .... Bitzer Alan Bates .... Josiah Bounderby Richard E. Grant .... James Harthouse Beatie Edney .... Louisa Gradgrind Christien Anholt ....
