Estella had NO redeeming qualities. The Magwich bits seem way wrong and destroy the eventual revelations. Jaggers was far more subtly bad. Getting to really hate this. Then why you watching it then?

JK2006	Didn't like Part Three at all; really going off it.

JK2006	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.
