Little Dorrit: Episode 2
A striking new dramatisation by Mike Walker, featuring Jason Watkins as Dickens, Paul Bradley as William Dorrit and Samuel Barnett as Arthur.
Arthur Clennam has given up his place in the family firm and secured himself a role as partner in Dan Doyce’s engineering venture, a scheme funded by financier and ‘man of the age’ Mr Merdle.
Meanwhile Arthur is still trying to solve the riddle of the inscription on his father’s watch case - ‘Do Not Forget’ - and feels that this must be linked in some way to William Dorrit, imprisoned in the Marshalsea for debts, and his daughter Amy.
