I'm a little late with this news: The miniseries Nick Nickleby aired on BBC One earlier this month. (Thanks to Pete Orford for the tip.) The modernized version of Dickens's third novel, which ran in the afternoons, earned between 700,000 and 800,000 viewers per installment. I don't know yet whether it will be made available over here, but the show's website mentions an international distributor, so it might be! In the meantime, a few clips are available at the BBC site.

What? It aired already? The BBC is so diligent with it's promotion (NOT). I'm going to see if I can find it somewhere on the web.

I really enjoyed this adaptation and from what I've read so did the others who actually managed to catch it. It was poorly advertised by the BBC and lost in the daytime schedule - usually full of rubbish property and antique shows. Why it wasn't given an evening showing is beyond me.
