Of Swords and Parasols

Spent a large part of the evening watching the new Great Expectations that aired a couple weeks ago. (Last week?  There's a post-surgery blur there.)  I wasn't sure going in (a lot of which was that I'd never heard of Estella and Pip's actors-they were both good in the roles) but it was pretty decent.  Gillian Andersen was almost unrecognizable as Miss Haversham, and I'll be rather surprised if she doesn't get nominated for awards for this.

Also, nice to have Harry Lloyd going back to playing sweet characters after his Game of Thrones stint.
