Martin Chuzzlewit

Part of the BBC's The Charles Dickens Collection

Dickens' comic tale of a wealthy old man, and the relatives and acquaintances who seek his fortune, is as funny and insightful today as when it was first published in 1843-44 (as a newspaper serial). Part of the BBC Schools series, Martin Chuzzlewit features high production values, a faithful interpretation of Dickens' original text, and the casting of well-known British actors resulting in an entertaining and educational journey into 19th century England.
