A lot of people know that Charles Dickens published many of his novels first in weekly or monthly instalments. Now the creator of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes, has decided to follow suit - he's publishing his next work, Belgravia, in 11 episodes, online. Lord Fellowes and Ashleigh Gardner, head of content at episodic/interactive publisher Wattpad, discuss whether this method of publishing is still as effective as in Dickens' day. First broadcast on Today, 12 April 2016.
