A Christmas Carol

on BBC One London

A cartoon version of Charles Dickens's Story of Ebenezer Scrooge, in the style of the original illustrations by 'Phiz.'

Every word in this production of the most seasonal of Christmas stories is as written. Nearly a year in the making, involving some 30,000 drawings, the animators based their sketches on 19th-century London after months of research. Such care was taken to achieve the maximum authenticity that even the bells used were actually ringing in Dickens's days.
With the voices of Alastair Sim as Scrooge, Michael Hordern as Marley's Ghost
