Say Whhhhhat?? | Victorian Slang Challenge | Dodger Cast Exclusive

I bet you have never heard of a 'Dickensian Phrase' before, and neither had the cast of Dodger! Watch as some of the stars of the show guess what these old phrases mean in this behind the scenes video from CBBC Dodger! Play a long at home to see if you can figure any out yourself.

Dodger follows the exploits of the infamous pickpocket, The Artful Dodger and his gang from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, as they find ingenious ways to survive the grim and exploitative conditions of early Victorian London in the 1830s. The group of young misfits is led by Dodger and his pickpocketing partner-in-crime, Charley Bates, a girl from the countryside with a mysterious past. They are joined by Polly, Tang and Dodger's adversary in the gang, Tom. Together the orphans duck and dive their way through the criminal underworld, trying to make a better life for themselves, whilst satisfying Fagin's pickpocketing demands. The police are always just one step away with Sir Charles Rowan becoming increasingly obsessed about how to deal with the gang and catch Dodger.
