There's an interesting new two-part version of Oliver Twist that puts a lot of new spin on the story. Molly is now of African descent, and they try to make every character one with a good side - except for Bill Sikes.

They really emphasize (maybe over-emphasize) the Jewishness of Fagin.

Lisa are you on about the BBC series? I love the Musical - no one will ever beat the actors in that, and Shani Wallis IS Nancy - love that movie, it's excellent. The others always pale in comparrison.

Did you know that Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. BEan and Blackadder is now playing Fagin at the theatre in London? I'd love to see it!

Wow, that's interesting, I wouldn't have thought of Rowan in that role! I would love to see that too.

Steven - I adore the musical and have it on DVD. I've seen it tons and tons of time and sing the "Be back soon" song when I leave the house sometimes smile
