Another reminder, tonight is the second installment of
Reader, I Married Him (BBCFour, 9:00PM) with a lot Brontë-related topics:
An essential ingredient of any romantic novel is the hero. In the second programme of the series looking at romantic fiction, Daisy Goodwin investigates whether literary heroes give readers unrealistic expectations, or if, in the words of Jilly Cooper, they provide the ideal fantasy to "stop them jumping on the milkman".
The programme looks back to the 19th century, the Golden Age of the Hero, and the main archetypes – Mr Darcy, Heathcliff and Mr Rochester; what distinguishes them and makes them so enduring; and how they, along with Rhett Butler in the 20th century, have become the brand leaders influencing most contemporary writers from Helen Fielding to Sophie Kinsella.
Daisy discovers the key to penning a successful hero at a creative writing class with novelist Katie Fforde; and joins four readers in creating an e-fit of "their" Mr Darcy, with the help of the Met Police. Contributors include Tim Lott, Jilly Cooper, Joanna Trollope, Brontë biographers Juliet Barker and Lucasta Miller, and Andrew Davies.
