You know what it's like. You're late for an appointment, weaving in and out between commuters on the Underground when you get stuck behind five Miss Havishams blocking your path.
Well, that's what happened this week when five models dressed up as Charles Dickens's infamous character and stalked the Underground.
WHY?! I hear you ask. It's to promote the screening of Great Expectations on TV channel Drama this Sunday (May 25) at 6pm. If you miss it, they're repeating it the next day at 4pm.
That'll be the three-part BBC version of the story, adapted by Sarah Phelps, starring Ray Winstone as Magwitch, Gillian Anderson as Miss Havisham, Douglas Booth as Pip, Vanessa Kirby as Estella and David Suchet as Jaggers.
The models spent a whopping three hours in make-up with Deanna V'lcevska, Nicci Jackson and Julia Townend to get the look, meeting at 8.40am at Big Ben, marking the time Miss Havisham was jilted by her fiancé Compeyson.
Costume designer Katya Wildman said: "We watched a number of actresses playing Miss Havisham, including Gillian Anderson, Helena Bonham Carter and Charlotte Rampling, as well as reading the descriptions of this haunting character in the book.
"We wanted to capture Miss Havisham's ethereal beauty as well as the decaying of her clothes and spirit as a result of her long period of mourning for the wedding she never had.
"The result is a complete transformation of our five models that we hope captures the essence of this haunting and very moving character."
