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

Pip gradually forgets his terrifying adventure on the Marshes. A day comes when Mrs. Joe is convinced his fortune is made: he is taken by Uncle Pumblechook to Satis House to play with Estella, the adopted daughter of rich, eccentric Miss Havisham. Beautiful little Estella is cruel to him; she makes him feel coarse and common, but he cannot stop loving her. He grows discontented with his lot, and even finds himself criticising Joe.

The hyena with its weird laughter Is one of the scavengers of Africa. It plays a waiting role, watching the skies for the vultures to lead it to the remains of a kill.
