David Yelland stars as David Copperfield in this adaptation of one of Charles Dickens' best-loved and most autobiographical of novels.
Torn from his loving mother and devoted maid by his wicked step-father, David is abandoned into a cruel boarding school where beatings are the order of the day. When his mother is taken from him, he is sent to work in a bottle-cleaning factory and forced to live with the Micawbers. Fleeing to the protection of his eccentric Aunt Betsy, David at last starts to escape his past and fulfill his potential as a man.
