Interview with Chris Carey, Producer of Les MisérablesLes Misérables Andrew Davies' six-part adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic 19th century novel, for BBC OneLes Misérables Sunday 30th December 9pm on BBC OneOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY BBC One Tell us about the story of Les Misérables Tell us about the casting of the characters. David Oyelowo is in the role as Javert, as the nemesis and the other half of the cat-and-mouse game. He is one of the world’s greatest actors and hasn’t been in a UK television series for many years. It’s been sensational to watch him bring this complex character to life over six episodes. Lily Collins is in the iconic role of Fantine. Her death is one of the most celebrated in literary history and requires an actress of extreme talent and bravery to pull it off. Lily has put herself out there in the most extraordinary way. Olivia Colman and Adeel Akhtar are two of the countries favourite actors and they wanted to play the Thénardiers which is an enormous testament to Andrew’s writing and the power of Victor Hugo’s story.
