Bleak Expectations is the riotous story that Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin! And, crucially, had lived for another 152 years!
Follow young Pip Bin’s extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy plus best friend Harry, as they attempt to escape the clutches of the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and defeat disaster at every turn!

The magnificent muster of guest stars includes Tom Allen, Adjoa Andoh, Alexander Armstrong, Jo Brand, Julian Clary, Jack Dee, Stephen Fry, Nish Kumar, Lee Mack, Stephen Mangan, Ben Miller, Dermot O’Leary, Sue Perkins, Sally Philips and Nina Wadia.
