I like the Patrick Stewart Scrooge best.
Last year's (2019) Christmas Carol three-hour miniseries was pretty good (not for children though), but they paced it wrong. By the time they got done with "the ghost of Christmas present" there was only 15 minutes left in the show and they had to rush though "the ghost of Christmas future" and "good Scrooge on Christmas day" without barely covering them at all. I'm still glad I watched it though.
