This version has truly split the audience. I'm on the side who loves it, appreciated the grittiness, the brutal honest, that it explored areas in the book that weren't expanded on in previous versions, and bravely added new ideas.
Kevin Beck and when he rejected her she seemed to be more peeved than if she had to perform the deed. In reality wouldn’t she have thank her lucky stars especially as she still was given the money. The theme of the book is about repentance, forgiveness and redemption. All seemed to be lost on the producer of this version of the story.
What was honest about it? It is a simple morality tale but with regards to this 'evil thinks as evil does' this is somebody else's sick mind not Dickens..but oh yes we got the message that British men have always been inane greedy evil bastards.
@@theindividualizt just saying it got hammered over here because people were expecting the story line of scrooge as it was written and by the way the telegraph the observer and the rest of the broadsheets panned the show
all brilliant actors but why they have got themselves involved in this bastardised version of the classic Dickens novel I don't know if they wanted to do a modern-day version then do it on its own merit with no reference to dickens but then it would not have got the viewing figures

Watched 'A Christmas Carol' last evening in US. Blown-away by this interpretation! The relevance to our world today had me in tears. Well-done.
Yes, me too. Brilliant!
yes and charles dickens would have been scrathing his head thinking what has this to do with my novel. sorry susan but went down very badly in the uk
@@kevinbeck6785 I am British, and I loved it. I think the Daily Mail r, and Sun readers might find the concept difficult to grasp.

@@kevinbeck6785 I prefer to be my own judge, and I like the revision.
He was amazing in The Irishman
I know what you mean.
What utter utter rubbish. The worse version of a Christmas Carole I’ve ever seen. It spoilt the story and lost the plot.

excellent reply graham but i dont think it did get the viewing figures after episode one the programme just went down hill
that's good to hear watched about ten minutes of it and then decided their was better things I could do with my time
A fantastic cast of actors but awful version sorry to say
great words alice. scrooge is scrooge no more to be said
Terrible political version . The best version is and always will be the original version with Alistair Symm.
Did you not read the book? It was totally political.
