If the show is anything like its preview, then I will turn in with great expectations. Hoorah for this gritty interpretation and edgy music.

Regina commented on Masterpiece on 03.25.12
I am always amazed at the great music that accompanies every series and preview. It surprises me that someone would find it horrible!

John commented on Masterpiece on 02.21.12
I hope that the horrible music played in the Great Expectations preview isnt played during the actual program.

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 on Great Expectations, Charles Dickens’ remarkable tale of rags to riches to self-knowledge, starring Gillian Anderson (The X-Files, Bleak House), David Suchet, Ray Winstone, and Douglas Booth.
