Martin Chuzzlewit – photos from Mark Smithers

Here are some photos from Mark Smithers of ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’, featuring some of the cast. ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’ was produced at Pebble Mill in 1994. With filming all over the Cotswolds and Kings Lynn in Norfolk. Mark remembers that it was a constant surprise turning up on location and being transported back 200 years by the amazing design team.
Costume designer Jeremy Turner won a BAFTA in 1995 for his Chuzzlewit costume designs. His assistant was the talented and knowledgeable Paul Higton, and various pieces were created at Pebble Mill by brilliant seamstresses.

This is the script front page for the 1994, BBC2, drama serial: Martin Chuzzlewit, adapted by David Lodge from Dickens’ original. Chris Parr was the producer, and Pedr James the director. This must be an early version of the script, because not all the crew are named. The rehearsal period was about ten days, in Acton, with filming taking four months.

Thanks to Ann Chancellor-Davies, the widow of production designer, Gavin Davies, for making the page available.
