More BBC ‘Great Expectations’ still photos

Categories: , ,

Many thanks to commenter "K," who just sent a link to several more cast photos! Take a look here. Those pictured include Pip and Estella (both as children and as adults), Miss Havisham again, Jaggers, Magwitch, and Compeyson.

My first impression is that they're going for a desiccated look for the whole cast, not just for Miss Havisham. Even Estella, instead of being simply a knockout, looks eerily like a young Miss Havisham in training. See what you think . . .

    Whoa…totally didn’t recognize Suchet at first! A good thing, though, since I’ve only seen him as Poirot. 🙂 Interesting to contrast these photos with the promo pics for Bleak House and Little Dorrit–these look a lot more “surreal.”

    I was aimlessly perusing IMDb and just discovered that Harry Lloyd, who will be playing Herbert in the miniseries, is Dickens’great-great-great-grandson!

    Isn’t that so cool? 🙂 He’s also played Steerforth in “David Copperfield.”
