Then why you watching it then?

What most bothered me was the unsubtle (and wrong) implication that Miss Havisham would be responsible for Pip's future benefits. Dickens cleverly uses much more subtle hints that, when you return from the end, fooled readers then and now. TV should do the same in an equally clever way.
