One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Only thing lacking is consistent titles
The acting is excellent. The quality is amazing as usual for these BBC programs. The only thing I thought was lacking was that a few of the stories are not introduced well. I am aware that these were produced as dramas and there is different production across titles. For the money, for the over all quality and massively enjoyable 35hrs+ ...a bargain.

Excellent!
About fifteen years ago, after hearing one of his descendants interviewed on a local radio station, I was inspired to read the entire works of Charles Dickens; it took me about five years to read through his vast collection of works, but it was well worth it. Recently I had been considering revisiting at least some of my favorites of his novels but was somewhat reluctant to take time away from discovering new authors and books.
Enter The Charles Dickens BBC Radio Drama Collection: The Later Years, an excellent and entertaining way to refresh my memory of Charles Dickens' last eight novels. Owing to the extreme length and vast cast of characters of his books, changes have been made to accommodate what I am assuming were budget and time constraints: some characters are missing from each adaptation (mostly minor) and storylines are changed accordingly, but for the most part these are beautifully acted faithful adaptations. It would have been nice if each drama had an introduction and its cast listed instead of just about half of the dramas, but that is a minor detraction.
Following are my ratings for the individual dramas included in this collection:
David Copperfield: 5 stars
Bleak House: 4.5 stars
Hard Times: 4.5 stars
Little Dorrit: 5 stars
A Tale of Two Cities: 4 stars
Great Expectations: 4.5 stars
Our Mutual Friend: 5 stars
The Mystery of Edwin Drood: 3 stars

Good dramatization, but hard to follow unless you've already read the books.
I enjoyed listening, but there are a few problems. 1-It's very hard to search and find a particular story. The table of contents lists chapters, but doesn't tell you where each book begins or which books are in this compilation. In addition, if you click on the chapter it doesn't take you to a different place. For books that I haven't yet read, It is very hard to follow the storyline and keep track of the characters.

LOVELY PRESENTATIONS of DICKENS'S CLASSICS.
The stories aren't just read aloud. They are presented with a cast of people and sound effects, much like a radio play. This dynamic presentation kept my attention. There were only a few low/slow points to work through the books. FABULOUS!

Great audiobook, needs an index!
Great audiobook, great performances that I enjoyed very much.
That being said, the lack of an index is hugely confusing. There is no way of knowing which chapter relates to which book. I've taken the liberty to outline it below:
1-20 David Copperfield
21-25 Bleak House
26-30 Hard Times
31 -34 Little Dorrit
35-39 A Tale of Two Cities
40-45 Great Expectations
46-65 Our Mutual Friend

Gripping stuff but where is the index?
Chapters 1-20 contain David Copperfield and Bleak House starts at Chapter 21. However, the lack of any announcements about which book lies where or even when one ends and another begins lets down otherwise superb material. Furthermore, although the names of the cast are given in general terms in the advertising for the collection, there is no cast list for each production. It seems I shall have to live in ignorance about the actor who plays Mr Micawber so memorably. These omissions could so easily have been rectified but they mean that this production is flawed as a result.

NOW HAS CHAPTER HEADINGS0
Noticed that many of the reviews indicated that the collection had no chapter headings and so you could not tell which book you were reading or where you were up to - that seems to have been rectified - I have listened to these previously and they are a superb telling of Dickens work - they are available off and on for free on BBC IPlayer - but it is convenient to have them collected here for when you have a little time to relax with an old favourite.

Great Expectations Ruined
Chapter one of Great Expectations on this is episode two. The narrator actually states at the beginning episode two so we come into the book after all the major players have already been introduced. We miss Pip's early family life ,his meeting with Magwich, his meeting with Miss Havisham. In fact if you don't already know the story it's a waste of time
