by GEORGE ELIOT dramatised in 12 parts by HALLAM TENNYSON with Elizabeth Bell Steven Pacey Russell Dixon Judith Arthy and The political scene in England is in turmoil at the prospect of the Reform Bill. It is reflected in Middlemarch by Mr Brooke 's rather futile attempts to represent Whig policies, and by the growing intrigue that seems to surround the much-disliked Mr Buls trode. Yet another source of gossip has presented itself to the town - a secret codicil in Casaubon's will - the contents of which give rise to scandal.
