Famous Dickensian turn of events (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twist

This clue is a double definition.

'famous dickensian' is the first definition.
(Charles Dickens character Oliver Twist)

'turn of events' is the second definition.
('twist' can be a synonym of 'turn of events')

(Other definitions for twist that I've seen before include "Character demanding more" , "Wind spirally" , "Request for another card" , "See Oliver" , "Twirl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
