1. Oliver Twist (Dramatised) (Unabridged)
A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Dickens' famous novel, starring Pam Ferris,
Adjoa Andoh and Tim McInnerny with Edward Long as Oliver.Born and brought up in
the appalling deprivation of the workhouse, the orphaned Oliver escapes and heads
for London, only to fall into the hands of the notorious Fagin and his gang of child
thieves.But Oliver is an innocent at heart, and the attempts by Fagin and the
impudently witty Artful Dodger to teach him the tricks of the pick-pocket's trade lead
only to his almost immediate capture. His subsequent rescue, by the kindly Mr
Brownlow, is only the beginning of a series of adventures that lead him to an
incredible discovery.This adaptation of Dickens' second novel is a moving tale of
innocence and corruption. It features some of his most vital characters, from the
diabolical Fagin to the murderous Bill Sikes and his mistress Nancy, whose love for
Oliver is both her redemption and her downfall.
