Satirist and writer Armando Iannucci chooses novelist Charles Dickens.

Armando Iannucci is a huge and unexpected fan of Charles Dickens. Were he alive today, he says, Dickens would be writing sitcoms.

Alan Partridge? Maybe not. But the man behind the Partridge phenomena will be championing the man behind the Pickwick, Chuzzlewit and Uriah Heep.

Joining Armando and presenter Humphrey Carpenter, is the Dickens expert, Professor Andrew Sanders.

Producer: Miles Warde

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in November 2003.
