David Copperfield was a six-part television serial version of the Charles Dickens novel first shown on BBC1 in 1974, a co-production with Time-Life Television Productions. It starred David Yelland as David Copperfield, Martin Jarvis as Uriah Heep, and Arthur Lowe as Wilkins Micawber. Also appearing were David Troughton, Ian Hogg, Timothy Bateson, Patience Collier, Anthony Andrews and Patricia Routledge.
It was generally well received - for example in the review Clive James wrote for his Observer column: "David Copperfield is as good as everybody says. Steerforth's flaw is well conveyed by Anthony Andrews, and Uriah Heep, played by Martin Jarvis, is a miracle of unction: to hear him talk is like stepping on a toad long dead. But Arthur Lowe's Micawber is better than anything. He follows W C Fields in certain respects, but is graciously spoken; and his gestures are as delicate as Oliver Hardy's. Not that his performance is eclectic - it is a subtle unity like everything he attempts."[1]
