Dingley Dell

Episode 2 of 8

A drunken night at the pub results in an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. Stars Simon Cadell and Freddie Jones.

'You've got the address, Manor Farm, Dingley Dell, and I undertake that you shall see everything worth seeing. If you've come down for a country life, come to me and I'll give you plenty of it.'

Mr Wardle's generous offer to the Pickwickians was to prove almost too much for them.
