David Copperfield tells the story of the many families he's been in, the many lives and names that he's taken up. Moving from poverty to riches, London to Kent to Yarmouth, each story has a distinct voice.

The casting is incredible. Dev Patel would make a fantastic Doctor – there's Hugh Laurie and Peter Capaldi, who are underrated comics both, the pair of eyebrow fiends – Ben Whishaw plays Uriah Heep to slimy perfection.

Oh it is so good and it feels like a warm cup of tea with slightly dodgy homemade cookies.
