Music
In the cities of Britain we can travel in time as well as space. This film chooses the England of Hogarth, Gainsborough, Robert Adam and Captain Cook. As the camera moves across outstanding monuments of their work and relics of their achievements from Syon House to Greenwich, members of the Old Vic Company speak appropriate passages from the literature of the mid-eighteenth century. The musical score was specially composed by the late Sir Arnold Bax.

Inglaterra, siglo XIX. Famosa adaptación de la novela homónima de Charles Dickens. Oliver es un niño huérfano al que su madre, una joven soltera, abandonó a las puertas de un orfanato. Para librarse de él, el malvado director de la institución, decide venderlo a un empresario como aprendiz de su taller. Cansado de los malos tratos que recibe, huye y acaba uniéndose a un grupo de pequeños rateros que viven bajo la férula de un viejo tiránico.
