From echo of the first line 'It was the best of that time period, it was the worst of times' to the final 'It is a far far better thing that I do than I have ever before done', Dickens' traditional novel of the French trend tells a story of the redemptive powers of love in the face of cruelty, violence and neglect. Occur London and Paris, it shows the plight of the French people under the brutal oppression of the aristocracy in the years leading up to the trend, and the equivalent savage brutality of the revolutionaries on the previous aristocrats in the years immediately following. Among the memorable people are Charles Darnay, a French previous aristocrat who comes sufferer to the indiscriminate wrath of the trend, and Sydney Carton, a dissipated British barrister who attempts to redeem his ill-spent life out of love for Darnay's wife, Lucie Manette. In such a moving, intricate tale spanning eight tumultuous years, Dickens orchestrates the wider political picture behind the story of Lucie, Darnay and Carton along with his customary brilliance. This epic creation, dramatised by Mike Walker, stars Robert Lindsay as Dickens, with Alison Steadman, Jonathan Coy, Andrew Scott, Paul Ready, and Karl Johnson.
