In Chapter VIII, mention is made of her having "a Prayer-Book all confusedly heaped about the looking-glass." It's hard to describe him really because he goes on a journey. It depends which Magwitch you're talking about, you know, he's quite different at the beginning to the end. Magwitch is a troubled man. On the surface, he's a convict, a rogue, a highwayman, a legend of the road, and he's lived the life of sin. We meet him when the repercussions of that are in full swing. Then there’s an awakening, and from there on he's someone who is trying to do the right thing in life. Osborn, Michael (24 December 2011).

DB: Steve examines her mental illness in a way that's never really been done before, it feels so much more truthful. She is obviously a fragile character to begin with but then when she was left at the altar it had a profound impact on the course of her life. Collin, Robbie (29 November 2012).

How do you balance staying true to the source material whilst also making it feel timely and modern? DB: It was great to have Ridley read the scripts and get his thoughts, as well as being across the casting and director selection. It’s a privilege to have both Ridley and Tom as part of our creative team. Ryan, J. S. "Donnithorne, Eliza Emily (1826–1886)". Australian Dictionary of Biography.

We were so excited to meet each other! He was in makeup and I went in and went "hello" and he went "oh!" He got his earbud and I think he put it up his nose, he didn’t know what to do! We had heard so much about each other, from mutual friends, so working with him was so exciting. He is a proper, proper actor. KC: Obviously Ridley is an icon of cinema so having his input and his lens on things is always really invaluable. Tell us about Ashley Thomas as Jaggers. Was the role of Jaggers always expanded when you were scripting the adaptation?

It’s obviously incredibly period, like Victorian, but I think Verity and Niamh Morrison, the hair and makeup designer, both had, surprisingly, a lot of fashion runway references. There were Galliano references, Vivienne Westwood references. So, they were trying to go for something that was a bit more editorial and grungy, not quite traditional. I guess I would describe her style as a weird rotting grunge princess.Gillian Anderson. "TV blog: Great Expectations: Falling in love with Miss Havisham". BBC . Retrieved 14 August 2012.
