The young Charles Dickens was, for a time, Editor of a daily paper. This series takes an imaginative look at how Dickens would have tackled bringing the news to the masses in the 1840s.
RAILWAY KINGS: As Editor of a new campaigning weekly, 'The Herald', he has just appointed a Chief Correspondent - Jack Marshall, an eager and rather handsome young man. Agnes Paxton (daughter of Joseph Paxton, Railway King, and part-owner of the paper) is in charge of petty cash. The first lead that Jack needs to chase up is who, or what, is responsible for a tragic railway accident. An awkward investigation when a Railway King and his daughter are so close to home!
DARKER THAN YOU THINK: Bodies are being discovered in the Rive rThames with dreadful injuries. The rumours abound that it's Spring Heeled Peter - but the Inspector in charge of the case just wants the culprit found before anyone else is killed. Chief Correspondent Jack is sent to investigate but Agnes seems rather more interested in her new beau, a pioneering and seemingly philanthropic doctor, than following the progress of his leads.
