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

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 Joe says with quiet dignity that 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.
