Little Dorrit: Episode 2

Dickensian

Available for over a year

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.
