Great Expectations - What Did You Think?

[carolegif]

I thought it was much better than I was expecting. Kept close to the story apart from the swearing and Biddy is the same age as Pip.

Don't think I'll bother - the John Mills, Alec Guiness, Martita Hunt, and the delectable Jean Simmons version can't be surpassed IMO.

I've read all the reviews from the critics and won't be watching! I don't like it when they mess about too much with the classics.

@16.58.Best Answer,surely.No actress can ever beat the great Martita Hunt as Miss Haversham.No one,never ever.God bless Martita.

I agree about the 1946 version. According to the critics, it goes downhill from the first episode. Even the Guardian only gave it three!

Has there been a better Magwitch than Finlay Currie?

I'll watch it on iPlayer just to see what it's like.

Forgot to say thank you to Vagus.

[Old_Geezer]

Well; I had no great expectations, so I didn't watch it, and I wasn't disappointed.

I expected it to be great - as per the title.

[Barsel]

Perhaps you expected too much Dave?
Now, if it was called Fantastic Expectations, you might have got your money back :-)

[netibiza]

Yes better than.I expected also but Miss Haversham came across as pervy!

[davebro]

Havisham not Haversham

[netibiza]

Do I really care?

Do I really care if you care?
