Oh My! A new BBC production with Gillian Anderson. She was brilliant in Bleak House. Will have to search this out, although I must say that I really do not like Estella. Thanks for the heads up.
My pleasure, Mo! Im a bit of a Gillian Anderson fan, so Ill be keeping an eye out for this one, too! Although given that I dont have a TV, Ill have to wait for DVD!
