Just seen that the BBC have adapted Great Expectations again for Christmas.......I wonder why it has been done again. Much as I love the BBC adaptations of Dickens, this one has been done to death....I suppose I should give it a go, but having seen a clip of Gillian Anderson as Miss Faversham, I am not sure that this one will be a winner. Time will tell. I came to Dickens quite late in life, mainly as I was forced to study Hard Times at school, by, well there is no better way of putting it, an idiot. The teacher was obviously bored to tears as he read it out, and was clearly bored with his own life as well as that of others. Hard Times is not exactly the lightest of reads, and I think therefore I suffered as a result. I shall try to read it again one day soon. I digress however, and I wish the BBC would pick up another Dickens story to adapt, there were plenty of them.
