I love Patrick Stewart, and I love Star Trek TNG, however with that being said, I have to admit I like the A. Sim version much better. Sim WAS Scrooge. Oh, and I can't wait to watch 'The Captains', with William Shatner, should be great. Beam me up...
It is definitely the best if ur in the uk it's not on tv despite being MADE by channel4 uk. In the USA I believe it was aired on TNT movies Friday night yesterday
I absolutely love it when scrooge is presented as a character to be pitied. It's good to see that people like him aren't just grumps but may have lost something in their pasts to make them lose faith in other people and themselves. George C. scott and Patrick stewart do that best of any scrooges I think, especially stewart's reaction when he watches his old lover leave and he yells at his younger self for not going after her.
I've always loved A Christmas Carol through the years in all it's forms. But I have to admit that this version with Patrick Stewart from Star Trek: The Next Generation has definitely become a favorite version as well. There are many actors who have filled the shoes of E. Scrooge over the years. But I have to admit that Patrick is definitely one of my all time favorites. I only wish I could have seen him do it live on stage as a "one man show." I'm sure it was FABULOUS!!!
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
What I really like about this version is that the the makers really paid attention to small details. For example, the people Scrooge greets on the street respond with a certain amount of bewilderment, as this is not the cold-hearted Scrooge they have come to know. Also, Scrooge really doesn't know how to behave at first (he forgets that he is supposed to remove his hat in church, for example), but he gets better at being amiable as the day wears on.
This is what happens when Charles Xavier forgets to take his pills. XD And to those who wonders why I can find Christianity to be ridiculous - just listen to the lyrics of that awful song they play in the church here. :P lol
@kurvos I think there are but a few of us who does not find ridicule in most obsessions, religions and ideologies.
However, I also believe that there is a lot to be preserved, valued and considered in the same. Thereby not saying that all good things are the result of religion or obsession.
All in all, Christmas is a contemporary phenomenon with Christian roots, often grown on heathen soil and watered by cultural influences.
Whatever holiday you celebrate, or don't, have a merry one!
@Wyndsang I actually do celebrate Christmas - but I do it because it's a family tradition, and I care and love for my family. And thank you. Same to you. :D
@jennieWren01 wow really? that last part was completely uncalled for. everyone has a right to their own opinion. and what if he does have two dads? who cares. that has nothing to do with anything. studies have prooven people raised by same sex cuoples turn out just as well set as those who have both male and female parents. leave your childish comments to yourself.
@jennieWren01 first off, everyone has their own opinions. and they have a right to those opinions. so why don't you take your hateful drama somewhere else and just watch the damn clip and enjoy it. for crying out loud we are not in elementary school.
@JeremiahReaperShadow Firstly, I don't know what Elementary School is - do you learn carols there? And secondly, their opinion is objectively wrong. Slating God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is like saying that God exists or that women should have the vote.
@jennieWren01 I did not say you are a homophobia, you moron. Of course I would say you're a homophopic. I said you HAVE homophobia. And since you ARE a homophobe, the rest is freakin' irrelevant. No decent human being is a homophobe - especially not in our modern times. It's immature and stupid to be a homophobe.
@kurvos Being homophobic has nothing to do with 'not being a decent human being', it has to do with the ideas we take in from our environment. Since it's Christmas time, lets look at Christianity. It has plagued our society with bad ideas, one of those ideas being the belief that homosexuality is a 'sin'. Many, if not most people, are homophobic because they are products of their environment. Bad ideas create bad behavior. And with that, 'happy note'... Merry Christmas.
What is funny about this is it looks like Captain Picard in a holodeck fantasy. I would have liked to have seen Star Trek TNG Christmas Carol. It could have had Captain Picard as Scrooge and Q as the one who warns him of the three spirits -- played by Dr. Crusher, Guinan, and Data.
@MichaelBrookham I have to admit, that would have been a terrific idea for the Next Generation cast. Q would have made a terrific addition to the story.
i know there are many great versions out there, but i have to say, this one with Patrick Stewart has always been my most favorite of all followed by Scrooged with Bill Murray...
I really think that the role of Scrooge must be a fine meaty role for most actors, perhaps just as challenging as Hamlet. To be able to do the change in personality at the end and to do it convincingly is always a treat to see. I loved George C. Scott, Aleister Sim, and even Michael Caine ( in the Muppets version ) as Scrooge. Patrick Stewart does not disappoint.
I'm watching it too! Trying to find a clip on here of him laughing! Did you see it, about ten minutes ago? After the ghost of Christmas Yet To Come has left? Lol :)
@divineplusplus I totally agree and I've seen not 4, but about 11 versions including 3 cartoons, 2 musicals and a Muppet version. Muppet version and this here are the best. I haven''t seen 2009 version with Jim Carey yet, but having seen the trailer, I imagine it must be good, but no better than 1999 Hallmark version with Patrick Stewart.
@TekelBrighteyes He is still a crashing bore. There's no sincerity or depth about any of his performances - it's all deep-voice and well-rounded vowels.
@randomdave30 He is not a bad actor at all. He did alot of good stuff before he became typecast by doing that sciffy TV show. Doing Galaxy Quest is like trading your acting career for a regular pay check and endless convention appearances. It is a testament to his acting ability that he can get a role in a film that isn't a B-movie after doing Galaxy Quest... oh, sorry, I mean Star Trek.
In this version of "A Christmas Carol", Scrooge uses a temporal anomaly to travel back in time to save his wife, thus preventing him from becoming a prick.
didn't know there was a version with patrich stewart..my favorite one is the george c scott version..but i'll gonna buy this version aswell...love these christmas movies:-)
It's wonderful to watch as truly talented actors work to completely transform themselves, as to barely be discernibly from who they in fact are. Great performance from a master of the craft!
I haven't seen this version, but from this clip his "converted" Scrooge seems kinda creepy still, and his goodness awkward to say the least. I tend to love Stewart, but...
I would blame this on the cinematography. It's rather awkward as it really just follows him from behind, ignoring his face when he's supposed to be displaying much more emotion. On another note, I do love the part where the gentleman shares his book with him, that was rather sweet. ^.^
I wonder if anyone's going to show this version on TV sometime this year? It's about time for the various cable channels to start rolling out their Christmas specials and movies, you know.
Brilliant actor..i saw his one man performance at Santa Barbara University in California. i waited by the back stage door and got his autograph and he and I stood there with no one around but a few others and it was outstanding to stand in his presence ..a kind gentlemen too ...he was.
@NJB74656 alastair sim and the muppets, are the best versions. but this one is particularly (however you spell it) good. because this one is most like the book
It's a toss-up between Michael Caine and Patrick Stewart in my book. Both were great. But I also have to give a nod to Kelsey Grammer for his portrayal in A Christmas Carol: The Musical.
The very same. I watched A Christmas Carol: The Musical early Christmas morning 2007 or 2006, I don't remember which, and I liked how he played Scrooge.
I didn't either til I found out he was going to play Scrooge. I imagine it's similar to other famous actors and actresses training to sing well when they go for parts in stage or screen musicals.
By far, Patrick Stewart portrayed Scrooge's roll to a T. That's why I believe that the TNT version of "A Christmas Carol" is the best out of them all.
I agree. Especially after I watched a couple older versions this year, Patrick really stands out as the best. My ONLY gripe with the TNT version is the "Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come". It looks really cheesy. Other than that, it's the best one.
in this version of the movie, the sister is called Fran in all the others its Fan. and in the 1938 movie bob loses his job for throwing a snowball at scrooge, he does not in the rest.
Actually her name is Fran not Fan in the 1970 musical version starring Albert Finney. I have no idea why they chose to make this change in either version.
wow, i forgot i replied a year ago. I actually got to talk to someone who put the book version on line. He told that Fan and Fran are the same kind of names that is why they used it. Fannie is supposed to be short for Frances as in Fran.

As crazy as it sounds Brent Spiner would have been a great ghost of Christmas past.

This is the second Scrooge!
The best Scrooge is Michael Cane from the Muppet Christmas carol.

The only thing I thought was missing from this was from in the book where he meets the 2 people from charity again and donates money.

By far, Patrick Stewart portrayed Scrooge's roll to a T. That's why I believe that the TNT version of "A Christmas Carol" is the best out of them all.

Second that.

It's a very fine production and performance indeed.

I agree. Especially after I watched a couple older versions this year, Patrick really stands out as the best. My ONLY gripe with the TNT version is the "Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come". It looks really cheesy. Other than that, it's the best one.

in this version of the movie, the sister is called Fran in all the others its Fan. and in the 1938 movie bob loses his job for throwing a snowball at scrooge, he does not in the rest.
what's up with the change of the sister's name?
phillygirl06 3 years ago
Actually her name is Fran not Fan in the 1970 musical version starring Albert Finney. I have no idea why they chose to make this change in either version.

wow, i forgot i replied a year ago. I actually got to talk to someone who put the book version on line. He told that Fan and Fran are the same kind of names that is why they used it. Fannie is supposed to be short for Frances as in Fran.
