Looking forward to that when it comes out. Have you read Terry Pratchett’s book Dodger - a real gem imo. Entirely faithful to the spirit of the original, but details different.
@Thornburywitch I was a bit slack there, referring to The Artful Dodger with Tim Minchin, haven’t read the Pratchett one but imagine he’d do the dialogue quite well, right up his alley.
Yes indeedy. Especially the bits about 5,000 years of food safety regulations … which is a nice contrast to Dickens’ rampant anti-semitism. Different story, same setting, and a lot more slapstick. Classic late phase Pratchett.
@Thornburywitch @bacon… rich gentlemen have it boys… indigestion!
… why yes, I did learn that song for a school production, why do you ask? 😊
Quite like Dodger btw, nice little reboot of the tale, eh.
