The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff is a four-part BBC comedy series, which premiered on BBC Two on 19 December 2011. It is a parody of the works of Charles Dickens, drawing its title from Bleak House and The Old Curiosity Shop. It is a television successor to Bleak Expectations, a radio parody of Dickens which ran from 2007 to 2011 and with which it shares the writer Mark Evans, producer Gareth Edwards and actor Richard Johnson, and while not a direct adaptation it shares the same style, atmosphere and sense of humour. It is directed by Ben Gosling Fuller, who also directed the successful show That Mitchell and Webb Look. Cast members include Robert Webb, David Mitchell, Stephen Fry, Joshua McGuire, Katherine Parkinson and Susy Kane.
The series was commissioned to coincide with the bicentenary of Charles Dickens' birth.
