Does anyone have an opinion and/or thoughts on the 1999 BBC/PBS presentation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS? Just finished watching it and wondered what my fellow Horatians thought. Not so much Ioan's performance but the dramatization as a whole.
Thanks!
Yours Aye,
Diane

I haven't seen it since 2000, but as a whole, it is my favorite adaptation of Great Expectations and not just because of Ioan, I thought it was well acted and all. I loved Bernard Hill and Tony Curran in there roles and enjoyed Justine Waddell , too.

I was just wondering because I am reading the book. I also came across several other dramatizations--one with Helen Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham; the other was directed by David Lean and stars John Mills as Pip and Finlay Currie as Magwitch (black and white version).
Yours Aye,
Diane

I do remember thinking Ioan was very good in it, but it didn't make my tape to DVD purchase list. ~Phizz
