Michael Deacon for his review of 'Great Expectations' in the Daily Telegraph...
"I rather lost faith in this adaptation the moment it introduced us to the full-grown Pip. Having entered the pupa of adolescence as a scowling urchin, he emerged as an androgynous heart-throb with a boy-band fringe, exquisitely shaped eyebrows, and skin of aftershave-advert purity. For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, it was difficult to believe in this pouting beauty as a Victorian blacksmith's apprentice."
That said, I still very much enjoyed the series and thought Gillian Anderson played Miss Havisham to a 't'.
