Review of Dickensian

Dickensian (2015–2016)
3/10
Killed by scheduling
8 May 2017
Touted as one of the BBC's gifts to us as viewers over the Christmas 2015 period this ended up being a bit of an expensive flop for them, being axed after one series.

It had a lot of potential, but people just didn't get into it. The scheduling didn't help it take on a sort of soap like quality, but the basic fact was people may know the main Dickens characters, but some of the ones that popped up were just too obscure for the average viewer.

I applaud the BBC for trying something different, goodness knows they don't do it often, but they really didn't help themselves by moving this show around the schedules so much.
