Rating: Streaming until February 28, 50mins originaltheatreonline.com Rating: This streamed version of A Christmas Carol, which has been The Old Vic’s sell-out Christmas show every year since 2017, is back with Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead and This Life star) playing Scrooge. The bearded Lincoln cuts a dash. The trouble is, to convince us that he is an unswayable misery, he continually shouts. It’s a tad exhausting. The real star here is Matthew Warchus’s heart-melting production, which I remember filling The Old Vic with flying fruit and veg and its audience – now sadly missing – munching mince pies. The split-screen editing here is slick, and a hatful of carols and handbells makes a Dickens of a racket. The three ghosts of Christmas are played by women and the childhood of Scrooge is a full psychodrama, with an expanded role for Ebenezer’s cruel dad.
