I very much enjoyed last night's episode. I saw Gillian Anderson on the Graham Norton Show and there was mention about GE and the fact that everyone thought Miss H was older. Apparently she would've been about 50 and GA is about 50, but of course 50 then would've been completely different to 50 now!

I enjoyed the whole thing. I agree that Estella wasn't as beautiful as depicted in the book, though. Otherwise I thought it was a good adaptation with a tweak here and there!

Watched the final part last night and enjoyed it, I think overall it was quite a good production, although apparently the ending is different to the book? Haven't read it so can't comment on that. I did think part 2 was the weakest section though. And how pretty was Pip?!
