I was absolutely drawn into the program preview. The beautiful, mysterious Gillian Anderson plays the starring role as the manipulative Miss Havisham. Great Expectations is a Charles Dickens’ tale of rags to riches to self-knowledge. This most familiar story — an orphan boy meets an escaped convict, a crazed rich woman, a bewitching girl, and grows up to have great expectations of wealth from a mysterious patron — appropriately airs during the bicentennial of Dickens’ birth, and this marks the fifteenth MASTERPIECE adaptation of the great novelist's works.
