Summary
Pathe synopsis: From this flashing colour we cut to an old street lamp which betokens the presence of a new restaurant which has recreated Dickens’ London in the cellars of a Paddington pub. There’s Mr Micawber’s house, the Old Curiosity Shop - and the cast of ‘Oliver’ in costume to animate this new eatery which is a colourful Dickens museum with a difference.
