Temporarily distracted from Dickens by Scotland: I went to Boston Song Sessions' Burns Night at the Skellig. There was an "Address to a Kishke." It was pretty awesome.

This is not Dickens, either. I got derailed by Peter Capaldi.
I watched Torchwood: Children of Earth (2009). It was streamable from Netflix; I'd never seen any of the show. Peter Capaldi wasn't the selling point, but I did notice his name in the cast; I've liked him ever since discovering him as the Angel Islington in Neverwhere (1996) and then whenever he's turned up randomly in television roles.1 He has just made the leap to someone I'll watch read the phone book, with or without lots of complicated swearing.
( You wouldn't think it to look at him now, but he was a clumsy thing, always losing his key. )
Local Hero (1983) seems like a good place to start.
