Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson, David Suchet and Douglas Booth star in Sarah Phelps' (`Oliver Twist', `EastEnders') bold, three-part adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic. Part thriller, part mystery, with a powerful love story at its heart, Phelps' writing embraces all of Dickens' trademark wit and characterisation throughout, and the result is a vibrant, visceral miniseries. Winstone follows in the footsteps of past luminaries such as Finlay Currie and James Mason in the role of the fearsome convict Magwitch, while Anderson plays the iconic Miss Havisham.
