= Little Women (1970 TV series) = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Little Women was a BBC television series in 1970, based on the 1868-69 two-volume novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott. It was the third BBC adaptation of the novel.

It was shown on the Sunday tea-time slot on BBC1, where the BBC often showed fairly faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It consisted of nine episodes.

This adaptation was not as well-recieved by critics, who panned the adaptation's low budget and sound studio location. Other critiques included miscasting the March sisters with actresses older than their canonical ages in Alcott's novel, some of whom struggled in perfecting their American accents. The short series did receive praise, however, for its handling of Laurie, developing his character more than in some versions (this was discussed in the letters page of the Radio Times).
