Question: What 1861 published novel by Charles Dickens helped to inspire the name of the comedy series Bleak Expectations?
Sentence (from "Bleak Expectations"): It is a pastiche of the works of Charles Dickens – such as "Bleak House" and "Great Expectations", from which it derives its name – as well as adventure/ science fiction and costume dramas set in the same period, and parodies several of their plot devices (such as cruel guardians, idyllic childhoods interrupted, lifelong friendships, earnest young people), whilst simultaneously tending toward a highly surreal humour along the lines of "The Goon Show".
Relevant evidence: Yes
