Looking for holiday viewing? Patrick Stewart's Dickens is available free

[brightknightie]

The "Shakespeare Network" YouTube Channel has posted a "restored" 4K version of Patrick Stewart's 1999 TNT production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol, free to watch (#EducationalVideo #Exclusive #OpenLearning). They've been partnering with Stewart since the pandemic, when he shared a video a day of himself reading a Shakespeare sonnet. This isn't Stewart's famous one-man-show version of A Christmas Carol, based on Dickens's own script, but it's an excellent and faithful adaptation of the novel, which he produced as well as starred in, with supporting cast including Richard E. Grant and Joel Grey.

Oh excellent. I will probably be pulling out my Patton George C Scott* version tomorrow once my wife heads north but might check this out too.

*sorry, habit to type it was Patton version, as my late partner was related to the general, whom Scott played in a biopic.

:-D I figured out what you meant.

I hope you enjoy all that you choose to watch!
