Anon here! idk how or why you started hunting down all of burn gorman's stuff, but as someone who grew up listening to him on the radio THANK YOUU!!!! Have you been able to find him in the pickwick papers??? My nan loved that one

Hello!

No I haven't yet, but at point I thought I had. Turns out it was an 80s recording with a VA that sounded very similar to him. :/

Unfortunately some of his radio work, short films, and TV specials are almost impossible to hunt down (there's a film with Angel Coulby I'm especially looking for), but I will keep trying to find them. :)

And yeah- I don't particularly remember what started all this either. I just woke up one day and was suddenly determined to start hunting frogs 🐸

(If you do happen to come across a copy and are willing to share Anon, I'd be forever grateful 🤎)

[Mr. Pickwick] made no remark to anybody while it was being performed, not even to Sam, who reclined upon the back of the chair, reflecting, partly on the situation of his master, and partly on the great satisfaction it would have afforded him to make a fierce assault upon all the turnkeys there assembled, one after the other, if it were lawful and peaceable so to do. (Pickwick Papers, 40)

LMAO

Oh, Sammy, Sammy, why vorn't there an alleybi?

Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens

Pickwick Papers

Charles Dickens

Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers–-a comic masterpiece that catapulted its 24-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor’s prison, characters & incidents sprang to life from Dickens’s pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour & literary invention.

Page 9.  ---- Characters from the immortal works of Charles Dickens came into being last night in Jarvis Street Collegiate, when the Dickens Fellowship, Toronto Branch, No. 32, celebrated the 121st anniversary of the author's birth with a special program. Some of the costumed folk are pictured above by The Globe photographer. At the left are Misses Jean and Betty Kirkness, as Two Ladies from Mrs. Jarley's Waxworks, with Mr. Micawber, ably characterized by A. J. Rostance. In the centre are L. R. Hopper, as Whistle from the Pickwick Papers, and Miss Vera Butcher, as a Shepherdess. At the right are a trio from Dombey and Son, H. M. Newton, as a Showman; little Miss Dorothy Martin, as Florence Dombey; and Mrs. Agnes Martin, as Nurse Pickard with Little Paul.

Bonnet alert, hairdo alert !

This dress has seen extensive use over the years. Its first sighting was on actress Sheila Raynor as Tabitha Aykroyd in the 1973 mini-series The Brontës of Haworth. In 1978 it was spotted on Pippa Guard as Maggie Tulliver in The Mill on the Floss. The following year it made a very brief appearance on an extra in The Old Curiosity Shop. 1985’s The Pickwick Papers recycled the dress for use on Tamsin Heatley in the role of Mary, and in 1999 Justine Waddell wore the costume as Molly Gibson in Wives and Daughters. In 2007, the gown was worn by Julia Sawalha as Jessie Brown in Cranford, and finally in 2019 on Gemma Whelan as Marian Lister in Gentleman Jack.

I too am always ruminating on the strange mutability of human affairs

The Pickwick Papers, Chapter 30.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home.
