Mr. Dickens recently showed up on the BBC children's show Horrible Histories. Check it out! According to Slate, he was doing a Morrissey song. I know squat about Morrissey, so I'll take their word for it.
(In fact, the train crash mentioned in the song took place while Dickens was writing Our Mutual Friend. But maybe it was easier to find a rhyme for Drood.)
In other TV news, the latest episode of AMC's Mad Men was titled "A Tale of Two Cities." Oddly enough, this took place while I was watching the LOST episode titled "A Tale of Two Cities." There's a Dickensidence for you.

Hahaha wow...Morrissey is notoriously detested by a lot of people for being really obnoxious and misanthropic. I don't know what to make of the fact that they rewrote one of The Smiths' songs about Dickens....except that it kind of made my day!
