I'd have prefered hourly episodes. Half-hour is just too short (and too many, so you're more likely to miss one, especially when they're on different nights ). So I watch it on Sunday.
From what I can remember of the plot, they're approaching the climax now.

Funny how the mind works, but when you mentioned 'Climax' in the context of Little Dorrit, and what with the credit crunch, this passage from the preface came to mind:
If I were to plead
anything in mitigation of the preposterous fancy that a bad design
will sometimes claim to be a good and an expressly religious
design, it would be the curious coincidence that it has been
brought to its climax in these pages, in the days of the public
examination of late Directors of a Royal British Bank.

I stayed with it for the first few episodes but then I missed one, then another - even though I had it set to record. Now I'll wait until it's done and BitTorrent the whole lot, sorry I meant buy the DVD.
My patience with Little Dorrit is getting a bit thin. I had some ironing to do last month so I looked on BBC iplayer and thought "oh, an hour of Dickens, that'll do nicely". But then it finished and precious little had happened, so I thought "oh well, it must be a 2- or 3-parter". That was weeks ago; we're up to Part 10 now and there's still no end in sight. What's the point if it's quicker to read the book in the first place?
