Dickens(2002)
Dickens Synopsis
Dickens is a 2002 three-part docudrama presented by Peter Ackroyd, on whose biography of Dickens it was based. An unorthodox style is taken: actors play various individuals in Dickens' life (as well as Dickens himself), interviewed as if appearing in a contemporary documentary. Their words are from actual letters and journals of the individuals involved, and serve to illuminate the hardships and successes in Dickens' life, and the way his experiences found their way into his works.
Dickens (2002) is a documentary and drama series that premiered on May 11, 2002, spanning 1 season and 3 episodes. It stars Peter Ackroyd, Anton Lesser, Miriam Margolyes and Kenneth Cranham. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
