This Steptoe-like Scrooge is a Dickens of a triumph: PATRICK MARMION reviews A Christmas Carol

PATRICK MARMION: Well, they've been selling mince pies in M&S for weeks, and the seasonal lights are set to light up on Stratford's High Street. So perhaps we shouldn't be concerned with the pro-arrivalance of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Christmas Carol, starring Adrian Edmondson as Scrooge. Moreover, there are so many Dickens' yuletide yarn lines around the world this year that it's likely that the RSC would order theirs early. Nor is there any doubt that this will be one of the best in Dickensian Victoriana, thanks to Rachel Kavanaugh's sumptuous production of wigs, waistcoats, and wassail.
