So what is the story about? The synopsis reads: "Great Expectations is the coming-of-age story of an orphan nicknamed Pip. Dickens first released it in a series of weekly chapters beginning in December 1860 before it was subsequently published as a novel."
The series will see Olivia star as Miss Havisham, a jilted bride who refuses to take off her wedding dress after being left at the altar, alongside Fionn as Pip and Shalom as Estella, Miss Havisham’s ward. How amazing are the first-look snaps? A Christmas Carol, which is set to star Suranne Jones, is also coming to BBC later this year. Sign us up!

Together, the four set out to uncover a conspiracy spanning 150 years."
