Dickensian: Episode 8

SYNOPSIS

Compeyson realises Matthew is in love with Amelia and manipulatively tells him that he must continue his travels in America in order to win her love, while Bucket continues his investigation by turning his sights on Mr Barbary, who was seen with Marley on Christmas Eve. Elsewhere, Bill tries to take Nancy away from her work as a prostitute, but fails to meet Fagin's lofty price demands, and Mrs Gamp tells Silas a hair-raising story to persuade him not to live alone. Period drama re-imagining the works of Charles Dickens, starring Stephen Rea, Adrian Rawlins and Joseph Quinn.
