CHARLES DICKENS CARTOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!

I actually was afraid it was going to be horribly cheesy, but I actually kind of liked it, and I feel like they didn't totally avoid the more uncool parts of his life.

Although his home for homeless women? They actually mean "whores." And "much speculation about this relationship" means "They were totally fucking and you are full of shit, Peter Ackroyd."

(Also, it's weird they pointed out the raven. Yeah, they had quite a few, but the family had a bunch of pets over the years.)

The BBC also have an edu-tainment game with mournful music. I couldn't figure out how to steer the boat on the Thames and I died of cholera the first time, but the next two times went well.

I liked the part where books began appearing on his shelf while portraits of munchkins appeared on the wall. Very cute.

I liked that, too, but my nitpicky self kept going, "But The Old Curiosity Shop and The Mystery of Edwin Drood are two of the SMALLER books! Why are they so big compared to all the others?"

LOL, I got thrown in jail the first time, but did much better the second time! :D
