The cast included Frank Finlay as Jean Valjean and Michael Napier Brown as the barber. The film series was produced in colour, with mono sound, though there were few colour TV sets available at the time in the UK.
Although the original master videotapes were wiped, 35mm film copies of the series survived the BBC's archival purge and it was released by Simply Media onto DVD in 2019.
