Dickens of London. Episode 10 of 13. Magic.

First broadcast 30th November 1976.

Charles is acting very strangely. He says he's in love with Queen Victoria and is upset that she is marrying a German; he even threatens to leave England. Most people around him don't know quite what to make of it and whether he is serious or joking.
