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

The story so far:
On his twenty-first birthday, Pip receives £500 a year, but learns no more about his benefactor. Joe brings him a message from Miss Havisham; Pip has become a snob, and with quiet dignity Joe says their ways must part. Pip finds Orlick employed at Satis House and gets him dismissed. Orlick vows revenge. Estella has returned from abroad more beautiful than ever - she warns Pip she has no heart. Miss Havisham orders Pip to be Estella's escort when she enters society in Richmond.

A modern comedy by George Barraud.
[starring] Judy Campbell, Griffith Jones and Hugh Sinclair

One morning, in his mews flat in South Kensington, Christopher Weetbrook receives a letter from a solicitor telling him that under the will of the late Mrs. Hoffstetter of New York he has been left a substantial sum of money.
To Christopher's wife Jean, this seems to call for some explanation, especially when a book and letter arrive from Mrs. Hoffstetter's mother expressing surprise that her daughter should have remembered Christopher in her will...
