No arguments from me, about the episode or the above, though in regard to the latter I believe that with the release of War Horse, he may be destined for bigger things - as too Martin Freeman with The Hobbit (Benedict Cumberbatch having a significant part in that too). And note that as with Dr Who, both of those films are adaptations of children's books.

PS Much to the chagrin of several Daily Telegraph readers, I also enjoyed the adaptation of Great Expectations. Gillian Anderson played a wonder Miss Havisham - completely mad.
