The BBC’s modern reworking of Great Expectations has suffered
a ratings flop, losing nearly 3 million viewers since the first
episode aired last month.
Steven Knight’s adaptation, which stars Olivia Colman as Miss
Havisham and Fionn Whitehead as Pip, has been mired in controversy
over accusations of wokery and the inclusion of opium addiction
and sadomasochism.
Episode one pulled in 4.4 million viewers, reaching a peak of
5.5 million, but 1.8 million had switched off by episode two.
Last week’s penultimate episode only managed to draw in 1.5
million, some 2.9 million down on the first instalment.
It is one of the biggest losses for a new BBC drama so far
this year.

Make all the accusations you want - Woke=Broke.
Pretty much NOBODY likes this sort of shit.
So what's next - the govt ORDERING people to
watch the damned thing or be accused of thought-
crimes ?
Oh, and Brits - you know the kind of "representatives"
you HAVE been voting for ? Try something completely
different next time, hmm ? Not Tory, not Labor, not
Commies. IF you want to still have a country a few
years from now BIG changes are required. Look to
Finland ......
