Bleak House

Bleak House was a novel by Charles Dickens. It was one of Edmund Trevithick's favourites; he loved the way Dickens "drew him into that murky, fog-bound world." (PROSE: Nightshade) In the course of the plot, one of the characters — aptly named "Krook" — spontaneously combusted in his room, "supposedly as a celestial judgement on his sins." (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)

On Christmas Eve 1869, the Ninth Doctor compared the morgue of Gabriel Sneed's mortuary to the setting of the novel. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)

Ace found a copy of Bleak House in the TARDIS library. The Seventh Doctor advised her to put it in the architecture section. (AUDIO: The Genocide Machine)

In 2018 the Tenth Doctor and Heather McCrimmon saw Bleak House as a song and dance spectacular on Broadway, New York City. The Doctor didn't expect much of it, but after seeing the show he thought it was brilliant. (COMIC: The Greed of the Gavulav)
