'I think it's quite faithful.'
He explained:"Having read lots of factual stuff about 19th century London, particularly Mayhew's London, knowing what was really going on in London at the time, knowing that Charles Dickens was a great observer so therefore knew exactly what was going on in London at the time, the only reason that he didn't deal with those things is because he couldn't, he wasn't allowed to. Not because of censorship, you just didn't go there...
"I think it would be odd to then write a fiction where all the things we know were going on don't go on. Almost as if we're not trying to offend someone. "Normally when you're writing fiction you don't care, you're not treading that tightrope. You're forcing yourself to do it because it's Dickens. But Dickens didn't walk that tightrope, Dickens pushed his own parameters. So I think it's quite faithful to the spirit of him."
