Nigel Havers stars as the young Nicholas Nickleby, cruelly thrown out into the world to seek his fortune, in the BBC's triumphant adaptation of one of Charles Dickens' most celebrated novels. Darkly satirical, angry, funny, hugely entertaining - and filled with the richest assortment of oddball characters - Nicholas Nickleby features Nigel Havers in his first leading role. Includes Freddie Jones, Liz Smith and Patricia Routledge.
