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

Magwitch is no longer safe in England. Herbert and Pip decide to row him down the river and put him aboard a ship as soon as possible. Pip tells Magwitch he will go with him. Miss Havisham sends for Pip and promises to help Herbert; her dress catches fire and though Pip beats out the flames, she dies of shock. On his return he learns that Magwitch once had a wife and baby daughter of whom he lost all trace. He realises that Magwitch is Estella's father, and that Molly, Jaggers' housekeeper, is her mother.
