The fantastic actor Tom Bennett reads an excerpt from Dickensâ third Christmas book The Cricket on the Hearth âŠ
Caleb Plummer and his daughter Bertha are poor toymakers in the service of the cruel, miserly Tackleton. As the scene unfolds we learn that Calebâs daughter Bertha is blind, and that her father is constantly trying to shield her from the hardship and poverty of their lives ⊠meanwhile even their poor hearth is visited by a cricket that may yet bring good fortune for them.
Tomâs screen credits include his critically acclaimed portrayal of Sir James Martin opposite Kate Beckinsale in Love and Friendship, the HBO series Family Tree, Netlfixâs After Life and coming soon in 2024 House of the Dragons. He also starred as Del Boy in the Londonâs West End hit Only Fools and Horses âŠ
