Writer Andrew Davies' adaptation of Charles Dickens's brilliant novel is now available. Gillian Anderson and Charles Dance star in this thrilling, fast-paced adaptation, shot with a contemporary edge. At the heart of the story is the icily beautiful Lady Dedlock, who nurses a dark secret, and the merciless lawyer Tulkinghorn, who seeks to uncover it. The generous John Jarndyce, struggling with his own past, and his two young wards Richard and Ada, are all caught up, like Lady Dedlock, in the infamous case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, which will make one of them rich beyond imagination if it can ever be brought to a conclusion. As Tulkinghorn digs deeper into Lady Dedlock's past, he unearths a secret.
