"Tim McInnerny stars as the murderous Bill Sikes with Pam Ferris as Mrs Mann and Edward Long as Oliver in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of one of Dickens' best known novels."@en
"Pride and Prejudice captures the affections of class-conscious eighteenth-century English families with matrimonial aims and rivalries. This story of the Bennet family and the novel's two protagonists, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, is told with a wit that author Jane Austen feared might prove "rather too light and bright, and sparkling." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. Austen's artistry is also apparent in the delineation of the minor characters: the ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and particularly the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature.Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England."@en

"With the publication of this fiercely comic second novel, Charles Dickens's eminent literary reputation was firmly established.

Set against London's seedy back street slums, Oliver Twist is the story of a workhouse orphan captured and thrust into a den of thieves, where some of Dickens's most infernal villains preside: the impudent Artful Dodger, the barbarous bully Bill Sikes, and the odious Jew Fagin.

"Dickens's unforgettable tale of a young hero who escapes from his London orphanage to live with a gant of thieves, is rescued by a kindly old gentlemen, and is kidnapped again by the villains. Can he ever get back to his benefactor? This tale exposes the brutality of Victorian England's class system at a time when the middle class's intolerance relegated the poor to conditions that outraged a growing group of critics. We visit the brutalizing orphanages and the filthy streets which were home to London's young unfortunates. Still, the novel's delights exceed the persuasive weight of its social message. The two villains--the conniving career criminial Fagin and the professional burglar and murderer Sykes--will keep one rooting fo the beleaguered hero."@en

"Oliver Twist, the orphan, runs away to Victorian London to make his fortune. Oliver Twist is a family favourite at the same time as being a rather dark examination of the seedier side of life in Victorian London. An orphan, Oliver runs away to the big city, hoping to feel a sense of belonging and love. He falls in with a charismatic group of thieves and ladies of dubious merit, and encounters the characters we all know and love, such as Fagin, The Artful Dodger and the scary and bullying Bill Sykes.
