by Charles Dickens.
Adapted for television in thirteen parts by P. D. Cummins.

The date for Magwitch's escape is fixed, but Orlick has traced him to Limehouse and told Compeyson. One morning Pip receives an anonymous letter which refers in sinister fashion to Magwitch, and says if he wants information he is to go alone to the sluice-house on the Marshes. Pip keeps the appointment and finds he has been lured there by Orlick, who binds him hand and foot, boasts that it was he who struck down Mrs. Joe, and snarls: 'Now I'm going to kill you'. Luckily, Herbert finds the letter and arrives just in the nick of time to save Pip.
