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

On Pip's sixteenth birthday, Miss Havisham signs the papers apprenticing him to Joe and tells him not to come any more. Pip is wretched and longs to see Estella; he goes one day to Satis House and learns she is at school abroad. That same day, Mrs. Joe and Orlick quarrel violently; later, Joe finds her lying unconscious in the Forge - she has been struck on the head. Biddy, Pip's former teacher, comes to nurse Mrs. Joe, who has lost the power to speak; Biddy, however, is convinced that she was struck down by Orlick.
