Honest Adaptation
I remember this black and white production from when I was a child and it still has power. The ending is true to Dickens, bittersweet and like life rather than the Mills and Boon style in the David Lean movie (which is many ways excellent). This edition however is darker especially when you consider this was shown at teatime and doesn't neglect the minor characters and sub plots. Maxine Audley is mesmerising as Miss Haversham and subtlety disintegrates physically and mentally as the piece proceeds. Gary Bond is an engaging Pip with more introspection and self awareness than in many adaptations. Francesca Annie is always beautiful but captures the conflicts on Estella. In the supporting cast Neil McCarthy (Joe), Hannah Gordon (Biddy) and Richard OSullivan (Herbert) and Ronald Lacey ((Orlick) all shine. It isn't perfect but for truth, honesty with a dash of nostalgia Dickens fans need look no further. These early TV editions are becoming more readily available Oliver Twist, Our Mutual Friend, Barnaby Rudge, Domby and Son all have much to recommend them. Personally I would dearly love to see the 1968 Nichols Nickleby with Martin Jarvis and am sad to hear that the David Copperfield with Ian McKellen was erased.
