This timeless rags to riches story concerns the vacillating fortunes of the Dorrit family. The kind-hearted Amy, the Little Dorrit of the title, looks after her proud father, William who is a long-term inmate of Marshalsea debtors' prison in London.

But their fate is transformed by the unexpected arrival from overseas of the benevolent Arthur Clennam, who is determined to solve the mystery of his father's dying words, "Put it right, Arthur." He is sure this phrase is in some way connected to the Dorrits' plight and sets about rectifying the situation - discovering they are sitting on a huge fortune, a fact which thrusts the family into the upper echelons of society.

As the Dorrits meet a variety of characters from rich to poor, a deep bond grows between Arthur and Amy, and a dark villain Rigaud threatens to spill a long-held family secret.

    just because the BBC can't spell, doesn't mean you have to copy them !

    Research and verify. A publisher's obligation.

    Is it possible to have subtitles when I watch Little Dorrit on BBCiplayer or YouTube? I am unable to see the Wed shows and watch them via iPlayer but the sound is so bad (too much loud music)and spoken so fast that it's impossible to understand what's being said without subtitles (which I use all the time as I'm a bit deaf).

    Quite a bit of Little Dorrit was filmed in Greenwich, particularly at the University of Greenwich in May this year.

    I think music was written specially - but the haunting melody at the end of episode 12 is a dead pinch from albeniz's suite espanola op 47, asturias
