Dickens' Secret Lover

Aroview: Intelligent docu-drama that uncovers the torrid love life of Charles Dickens, who embarked on a clandestine affair with an actress young enough to be his daughter.

Presented by an engagingly hammy Charles Dance and with commentary from Peter Ackroyd amongst others, this is a compelling insight both into the life of the immortal writer and of morality in Victorian England.
