About this product

Product Information

This lavish BBC production of Dicken's classic tale stars Douglas Booth (WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY, CHRISTOPHER AND HIS KIND) as Pip, a young man who as an orphaned boy was occasionally sent to visit Miss Havisham (Gillian Anderson), an eccentric lady who lives in a huge but filthy mansion and is always dressed in a decrepit bridal trousseau. Miss Havisham has a ward, a lovely young woman named Estella, with whom Pip is immediately smitten. However, Pip is convinced a boy of poor circumstances could never win her heart, which fills him with a desire to better himself. One day Pip receives a message from a lawyer named Jaggers (David Suchet) -- an anonymous benefactor has made it possible for Pip to pursue a gentleman's education in London. Pip soon moves to the city, where he hopes to gain knowledge, wealth and the affections of Estella (Vanessa Kirby, THE HOUR).

  • Superb adaptation and very useful for GCSE English students

    I am tutoring a pal's daughter for her GCSE English, she has to read the book, as it is a big book and Dicken's writing takes some getting used to. We watched this and it has helped her enormously. I do remind her that it is an adaptation so doesn't necessarily adhere exactly to the novel. The casting is wonderful.
