Rigaud is back... but what does he want?
Thursday, 11 December 2008 20:00 BBC1
As Mr Merdle's death sends shockwaves through London, it transpires that the great Merdles Bank has gone bankrupt and the thousands of people who invested in him are facing financial ruin. One of those unfortunate people is Arthur Clennam, who soon finds himself in the Marshalsea Debtors' Prison.
Amy, Fanny and Tip also find themselves in dire financial straits, as it's discovered that Mr Dorrit has also lost his money in the bank collapse. But money worries mean nothing to young Amy when she learns that Arthur is gravely ill in prison, and decides to leave her sister and brother in order to go to Marshalsea to look after him.
Meanwhile, Rigaud, who has been missing, presumed dead, returns and is finally ready to reveal all to Mrs Clennam. But what exactly does the Frenchman know about the House of Clennam? And, when she finds out, will Mrs Clennam give in to his threats?
