Highly underrated IMHO, and reminiscent of How to Kill a Mockingbird... Or the Quahog version of The King and I from the show what uses manatees for writers...

Why has Comedy Cenral never aired this episode again?

Apparently, a lot of people didn't find it very funny and actually found it quite boring (though, in my opinion, it's got some highly funny moments, especially the third act). The Terrance & Phillip April Fools episode's never been repeated by them, either, and that one was definitely down to fan reaction. --L T Dangerous 06:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
That's right, I liked it too, especially when it got ridiculous in the third act, but I liked the first two, as it was a refreshing change of pace.--Jaybob1222
I loved it, but if you haven't read Great Expectations, it's probably pretty dull.69.72.41.60 03:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both Pip and the April Fools episode have been shown on Paramount Comedy 1 in the UK very recently. I live in Britain, and haven't read Great Expectations, but loved the episode anyway. --Rai 15:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This episode aired OTA tonite in syndication on UPN (soon to become CW Network). Having read Great Expectations does seem prerequisite, precisely because it's such a long, tedious, and aimless piece of "great British literature" (with two endings!) Remembering Malcolm McDowell ("British person") from A Clockwork Orange probably helps too. 71.162.255.58 04:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read Great Expectations, but I found this episode hilarious. Also, it does seem to be repeated in syndication, it's been shown on UPN frequently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.166.232.27 (talkcontribs)

If only the real Great Expectations was like this, actually made a bit more sense than the real book. (This is a little hyperbole but the plot from the actual book did make very little sense and had a lot of convenient coincidences that I wont spoil, although you could look at the wikipedia entry for it)

Does it bother anyone that in the trivia it says The British person is also Lindermen in the NBC show "Heroes" I feel that It should atleast be changed to Malcolm McDowell. Also if we are going to list his credits they should all be there. Heroes seems like another "lost" good the first season but something next season will steal heroes viewers.

It worries me that this episode is mis-quoted. Malcolm McDowell never says the line "Your 'umble narrator". Although there are references to A Clockwork oranges, this is not one. So could this bit of triva be removed?

Also missed out is the line that Pip says to the escaped convict, "Did we breaky-wakys out of prison?" which to me is a sort of reference to the NADSAT spoken by Malcolm McDowell's character in A Clockwork Orange. Indeed his character talks about "Eggiwegs".
