Little Women is a British television mini-series broadcast by the BBC from 1950 to 1951 in six parts. An adaptation by Winifred Oughton and Brenda R. Thompson of Louisa May Alcott's 1868-69 two-volume novel Little Women, it was produced by Pamela Brown and sets were designed by Stephen Taylor.[1] Cast included Sheila Shand Gibbs, Jane Hardie, Norah Gorsen, David Jacobs, Anita Sharp-Bolster, Susan Stephen, Barbara Everest, Wensley Pithey, and Alan Bromly.
The series was broadcast live and the transmissions were not recorded, so it is considered lost.[2]
The production was the first adaptation of the novel by the BBC. There were later adaptations in 1958, 1970 and 2017.
