Little Dorrit and North & South

So last week, while looking for Science projects on youtube I saw this "hour" movie called Little Dorrit. I looked it up to see if it was worth looking at....sounded interesting. Friday, while just hanging out downstairs I decided to watch it....it ended....well not really....the movie did but the story didn't....boy was I surprised that there were 16 episodes!!!

Authur Clennam.....a man of position and integrity. He faces his problems like a man and does not esteem himself above others but finds friends even in low society. A true hero.

The End....sigh.....to sweet.

Have you seen these movies? How do you like them? 
If not, you must....take some time and watch these! Take a step back in time and live a live during the 1800's in England....

  1. I've never seen Little Dorrit or North and South, but I'd really like too! I got N&S from the library a while back, but never had the time to watch it (I prefer to watch most if not all of it at the same time!). I've seen it a lot online, though, and it sounds really good!
