A new adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations includes an anti-colonial message not found in the iconic Victorian novel.
Criminal Magwitch says the British Empire was "built on the lies of privileged white men", according to the Telegraph.
The six-part series, which premieres on March 26, is written and created by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. Actor Fionn Whitehead, who plays Pip, told the newspaper: "The Empire was a horrible thing which involved a lot of British people going out and enslaving, pillaging and destroying a lot of cultures around the world.
“If there’s anyone walking around believing that the Empire was a great thing they are clearly kidding themselves.”
