- Synopsis:
- As the river flows silently through Victorian London, its dark waters bring with them a tale of crime and passion…And it's on the banks of the Thames that the poor, but captivating Lizzy helps her father earn his unwholesome living. But they little suspect that the next body they recover will lead them to a world far removed from their own.

Superb BBC version of one of Dickens’ best works - Our Mutual Friend review by CD
I have been reading “our mutual friend” and was very impressed by this BBC production. Great acting and script which at times draws word for word from the original text. Extremely atmospheric around the River Thames. Rich with good characters and villains, the film moves at a good pace without undue sentimentality, leaving out some of the less interesting parts of the book. Highly recommended (both CDs in the series).
