Great Expectations

I've just finished watching episode one of the new BBC adaptation of Great Expectations.

It's faithful to the novel and wonderful. I've never really got on with reading Charles Dickens but one thing is for certain it works fantastically on the TV.  Casting is pitched perfectly, Gillian Anderson, I thought was still too young and glamorous for Miss Havisham but it works, she steals all her scenes.

I'm looking forward to watching more.

I had a busy Christmas day, my chap and I were cooking a Christmas day feast for eleven and so missed out on watching the Doctor Who Christmas Day special.  I watched it this afternoon and it reduced me to tears. Well done Steven Moffatt, that doesn't happen all that often.

Other things I'm looking forward to is the return of Sherlock, I shall be squeeing like the insane woman I am come New Years Day.
