It's Christmas Eve and Jacob Marley is ruthlessly pursuing his debtors, including Little Nell's dying grandad at the Old Curiosity Shop. Meanwhile a young Miss Havisham has come into a fortune.
Dickensian intertwines the realm of fictional characters in Charles Dickens' novels in half-hour episodes, including Scrooge, Fagin and Miss Havisham, as their lives intertwine in 19th century London. The Old Curiosity Shop sits next door to The Three Cripples Pub, while Fagin's Den is hidden down a murky alley off a bustling Victorian street.
