THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD

ALL4 DRAMA

Exuberant and theatrical retelling of Dickens most autobiographical novel and one of his best loved. We follow the title character, played by Dev Patel, from tragedy to triumph as he becomes ‘the hero of my own life’. Patel heads a marvellous cast that also includes a scene-stealing Peter Capaldi (Mr Micawber), Daisy May Cooper (Peggotty), Hugh Laurie (Mr Dick) and Tilda Swinton (Betsey Trotwood). Armando Iannucci directed and co-wrote this with his Veep and The Thick Of It collaborator Simon Blackwell. Available now
