Synopsis
Bleak Expectations is the remarkable adventure of young Philip Bin as he struggles to rescue himself and his sisters from the plotting of his guardian, the scheming, evil and badly-named Mr. Gently Benevolent, and the blood-curdling Hardthrasher brothers. It's a Victorian epic in the style of Charles Dickens after far too much gin. Written by Mark Evans and produced by Gareth Edwards, the program features a full cast including Anthony Head, Celia Imrie, Geoffrey Whitehead, Richard Johnson, Tom Allen, and James Bachman.
