| Description | In this programme, the experiences Dickens actually had in Yorkshire are contrasted with the characters he created. In 1838 Charles Dickens, travelling under an assumed name, investigated the terrible conditions existing in some schools in North Yorkshire. The result was the creation, in ' Nicholas Nickleby,' of the world's worst headmaster-Mr. Wackford Squeers, of Dotheboys Hall. First broadcast in the North of England Home Service. Rebroadcast 5 March 1952 on the nationwide Home Service. |
