First filming of Dickens' Scrooge emerges

[Still Waters]

From Ebenezer Scrooge being scared by the face of Jacob Marley, and Tiny Tim at home with the Cratchit family, they are classic scenes known to many.

But this extraordinary footage from the first video recording of the Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol dates back more than a century to 1901.

The only version of 'Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost', held by the British Film Institute, is incomplete but tells enough of the story to make it recognisable.

The sets look like the ones I painted in Highschool.
