Great Expectations




A major new adaptation, forming part of the BBC's celebration of Dickens and the bicentenary of his birth in 2012.

Great Expectations will form the centrepiece of the Dickens season this Christmas.

Part thriller, part mystery, with a powerful love story at its heart, Sarah Phelps's (Oliver Twist, EastEnders) three-part adaptation embraces all of these qualities, delivering a vibrant, visceral, story. The stellar cast includes Gillian Anderson, David Suchet and Ray Winstone, and it will be broadcast on BBC1 in a prime-time slot in December this year.
