Nicholas Nickleby

Charles Dickens’ famously funny novel comes to raucous life in this acclaimed BBC production. Determined to support his penniless family after the death of his father, Nicholas (Nigel Havers, Chariots of Fire, A Passage to India) steers a straight course through the unscrupulous Victorian world, and finds a safe and happy harbor at last. Also stars Patricia Routledge (Keeping Up Appearances, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates) as the formidable dressmaker, Madame Mantalini.
