What an absolutely awful adaptation. I will not be watching any more of this and it does the book no justice what so ever.

Yes, the book is much more detailed and believable than this sorry excuse on the BBC. I'd recommend reading it at some point.

Yes the book is very different, and the worst thing is the casting. Pip looks like a Calvin Klein model and Estella looks like a checkout girl. Estella is meant to be hopelessly beautiful and way out of Pip's league. Also the acting from both isn't great either.

I think I prefer the Dickens ending even if it is sad, it's still kinda happy really. Which do you prefer???

The orginal definitely. Rings more true the the story rather than the fairytale getting back together at the house kind of thing.
