Armando Iannucci examines the work of Charles Dickens. Through the prism of the author's most
autobiographical novel, David Copperfield, Armando looks beyond Dickens - the national institution -
and instead explores the qualities of Dickens's work which make him one of the best British writers.
While Dickens is often celebrated for his powerful depictions of Victorian England and his role as a
social reformer, this programme foregrounds the elements of his writing which make him worth
reading, as much for what he tells us about ourselves in the twenty-first century as our ancestors
in the nineteenth. Armando argues that Dickens's remarkable use of language and his extraordinary
gift for creating characters make him a startlingly experimental and psychologically penetrating
writer who demands not just to be adapted for television but to be read and read again.
