Two Questions please:
My favourite film is with George C Scott as Scrooge and a multi star cast.
What is your favourite?
In the film Scrooge buys the big turkey as a present to the Cratchit family. Did Dickens write that or was it a goose. I am surprised that in 1843 turkeys were widely available. Anyone with the book to put me right?

In the book, the Cratchits are depicted having a goose for their Christmas dinner, but after Scrooge has been visited by the three spirits and becomes a changed man he sends them a turkey.

George C. Scott is the best Scrooge of course.
