Dombey and Son is a 1969 English drama serial directed by Joan Craft[1] based on the 1848 novel by Charles Dickens.

The series survived the BBC's wiping policy and was released to DVD in 2017 by Simply Media.

All episodes have high sound and picture quality, with little-to-no visible damage on the DVD release.

Reviewing its DVD release, Archive Television Musings wrote "Hugh Leonard’s adaptation manages to skillfully fillet Dickens’ novel and thereby retain everything of interest.

A fine rogues gallery of comic performers – headed by the peerless William Moore as Captain Cuttle – helps to keep things ticking along nicely...[Joan Craft's] directorial style isn't dramatic or showy (there's few of the flourishes that can be seen in Alan Bridges’ Great Expectations) but she still manages to ensure that the story unfolds at a decent pace...Thanks to the first-class cast who rarely put a foot wrong, Dombey & Son is another impressive Dickens adaptation.
