Dickens's classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue is ruined by the involvement of a member of the Blackadder family. This Christmas episode of the "Blackadder" comedy series was first transmitted on BBC1 in 1988.
A master of characterisation, Charles Dickens introduces us to yet another memorable creation in the form of David Copperfield, the undisputed favourite of all his fictional children.
When David Copperfield escapes from the cruelty of his childhood home, he embarks on a journey to adulthood which leads him through comedy and tragedy, love and heartbreak, and friendship and betrayal.
