Jane Eyre (BBC)
Newcomer Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens head up an all-star cast in this brand new adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's much-adored classic that mines the novel for every ounce of passion, drama, colour, madness and horror, bringing to life Jane's inner world with beauty, humour and, at times, great sadness. After a wretched childhood as an orphan, Jane Eyre yearns for new experiences. Accepting a governess position at Thornfield Hall, she tutors a lively French girl. She soon finds herself falling in love with the intimidating owner of Thornfield; the dark and impassioned Mr Rochester. As Jane gradually wins his heart they seem set to become man and wife, only for the past to reveal itself in the most shocking way possible...
