I was saying to a DW friend the other day that I just couldn't get into the BBC's Great Expectations adaptation but I wasn't quite sure why, but I think you are absolutely right that so much of the character was lost.You are so good at reviewing and have a good insight!
Excellent points, Barbara. Didn't like it either, was bored and thought actors not right. Also thought it was such an uninspiring, un-innovative production - may as well have been done by the BBC on a shoestring budget in the 70s (not that some of those productions weren't excellent). Bet it cost loads to produce though!

I really must make a Dickens icon if I'm to write about him so much.

The most recent (too lazy to look it up) Our Mutual Friend arrived today, courtesy Love Film. I'm saving it for the weekend.
