The BBC has decided to revamp its screen version of Charles Dickens` classic drama Bleak House, 20 years after the acclaimed original starring Diana Rigg.

However, the twist with this 2005 version is that it will be broadcast in a soap-style format.
The all-star cast will include X-Files veteran Gillian Anderson, Denis Lawson, Charles Dance, Alistair McGowan, Pauline Collins and Johnny Vegas.

Producer Nigel Stafford-Clark said: "The BBC was keen to explore fresh approaches to classic adaptation.
"Dickens wrote Bleak House as a monthly serial for popular consumption, complete with multiple storylines and cliff-hanger endings for each part.

"A twice-weekly half-hour television serial felt like returning it to its natural state."
Adapting the series is Andrew Davies, the man who helped turn Colin Firth into a superstar 10 years ago with his memorable version of Pride and Prejudice
