David Copperfield...'David Copperfield,' Dickens's most popular book since it was first published over 150 years ago, is brought to life in the BBC adaptation by the world-class cast including David Radcliffe, Maggie Smith, Bob Hoskins, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Ian McKellen, Imelda Staunton and Dawn French. Dickens's most autobiographical book 'David Copperfield' tells the moving story of David's journey from birth to maturity, a journey which inextricably links life with some of Dickens's most colorful, extraordinary and best loved characters: the flamboyant Mr. Micawber, eccentric Aunt Betsy Trotwood, the kindly Peggotty family, the cruel Murdstones, the 'ever so humble' Uriah Heep, the strictly upper class James Steerforth and loyal, loving Agnes Wicklow. David navigates through a life fraught with hardships and challenges, unexpected joys and sometimes even love, striving always to be the hero of his own story.
