The Awful Dodger

I agree that the series was fantastic but felt let down by the artful dodger. He was too old and highly un-likeable. Everything else worked very well, Fagin was great, far better than Ben Kingsley's awful portrayal, the kid playing Oliver was probably the greatest on screen Oliver Twist (in my humble opinion) and Serkis rivals Oliver Reed on the Bill Sikes front. I simply detested dodger, my only real problem with this series.
