the way he describes Steerforth, you have to wonder if he was the true love of his life.

They should just re-film the second half of the 1999 David Copperfield with Daniel Radcliffe, and have Daniel Radcliffe playing himself as both a boy and a young man. Maggie Smith could even reprise her role as Aunt Betsey!
