Bleak Expectations: Series 2

Join Anthony Head, Richard Johnson, Geoffrey Whitehead, Tom Allen, Sarah Hadland and David Mitchell in the second volume of this magnificent Dickensian comic epic first transmitted by the British Broadcasting Club's Radio 4.

Volume two of 'Bleak Expectations' follows Pip Bin as he ventures through Victorian Britain in constant battle with his evil and badly named ex-guardian Mr Gently Benevolent. On the way he builds a national railway network, blows up parliament, joins an East End gang, smokes a lot of opium, gets married twice and takes on the might of the Martian army.
