Charles Dickens' early career as a parliamentary reporter

I found this video, Dickens in Parliament, via an article about the reporters’ gallery in the 19th-century House of Commons by Kathryn Rix.

It reminds us that the Palace of Westminster the young Dickens knew was largely destroyed by fire in 1834, and that he was reporting the proceedings of the Commons in the days of the Reform Act.

And I like the picture of Dan Jarvis reading Dickens while on active service in Afghanistan.
