Limited Expectations.

When the BBC does actually film a classic - 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens, as it did last Christmas - you expect it to be a rather special costume drama.

In fairness there was much to commend but the unconvincing Estella left me feeling rather let down.
The write up (see url) in The Telegraph found other points of criticism.
