David falls in love, and questions his friendship with Steerforth. Stars Miriam Margolyes, Sheila Hancock and Phil Daniels.
David falls in love, not with Agnes, but with Dora Spenlow - a companion of Jane Murdstone who treated him so badly as a child.
Steerforth arrives with a letter from Peggotty saying her husband, Barkis, is unwell.
