The Masterpiece Theatre Collection revisited

Some months ago we reported the edition of The Masterpiece Theatre Collection: Romance, a DVD boxed set of three BBC miniseries including 1998's Wuthering Heights.

Now Playing Magazine reports this release proposing it as a possible Christmas gift:

If you believe grand-gesture romanticism will suffice, though, consider picking up The Masterpiece Theatre Collection: Romance, a DVD boxed set of three timeless tales of love that might, just might, leave her starry-eyed and forgetful of your dead-end economic existence.

First up is director David Skynner’s 1998 adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, starring Orla Brady (Proof) and Robert Cavanah. Nothing is known of dark stranger Heathcliff’s mysterious past when the kindly Mr. Earnshaw adopts him into his family, but his spirited daughter Cathy sees in him a soul very much like her own. Despite divisions of class, the vehement protestations of her jealous brother and, eventually, Cathy’s marriage to an older, wealthier man, Cathy and Heathcliff indulge in a love affair that spans time.
