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 Little Women, it was produced by Pamela Brown and sets were designed by Stephen Taylor. 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 weren't recorded, and as such it is considered lost.
The production was the first adaptation of the novel by the BBC, with the 1958 adaptation featuring Phyllis Calvert.
