I just visited the Charles Dickens museum and watched the film about Dicken's life they show the public downstairs. That Charles Dicken's is no saint is evident I do think he fits the norm of the term "genius." His life of the mind, his mind and his self-love took precedence over anyone or anything, he was what he
This is the opposite of what a good historical documentary should be: partial, sensational, morbidly titillating, sanctimomiously judgmental, lacking in evidence and littered with hyperbolic opining. A perky ironic tone doesn't disguise the fact that this is tabloid television. Shameful.
I wonder if, in 100 years time, the BBC will commission a celebrity to make a documentary about the failed relationships of Sue Perkins. Perhaps our children's children's children will be treated to a scornful dismissal of our foolish, dated social attitudes and primitive scientific understanding. Perhaps we will learn how Perkin's tendency to dress as man at any given opportunity was "psychologically odd", and her inability to sustain a relationship had very dark and dubious origins.
A big "thank you" to you zodiacza1 for this upload. What a great program showing us a side of Charles Dickens and his family that most of us were unaware. Happy New Year to you and I look forward to watching more of your videos in 2012.
i think people at that time are not very emotionally connected. my great grand mother is now 96y.o. she is unappreciative etc... when we tell her someone passed away, she'll have some insensitive comment about that person, totally 'stiff upper lips' no emotion. but leave her alone or in private we will always hear her sobbing or crying...

I feel terrible for Catherine, how he was so cruel to her, and yet in the end, she loved him still, after he was so hateful to her.
She had to go through so much, and yet, even in the end, she hoped that it might be seen that at one point, he loved her.
