Storyline
Ebenezer Blackadder, the Victorian proprietor of a moustache shop, is the nicest man in England. He is everything that Ebenezer Scrooge was by the end of the original story: generous and kind to everybody, and sensitive to the misery of others. As a result, people take advantage of his kindness – Mrs. Scratchit and an orphan take all his money, and a beadle takes his food.

“Making the book into a television show makes it feel so much more real and so much more like a real rock documentary.”
