Blue Peter was in Haworth

YouTube user odentroll has uploaded in four parts, Blue Peter's 1979 special program devoted to the Brontës: Blue Peter Special Assignment: The Brontës at Haworth. A very curious semi-dramatised piece whose credits can be seen here.

This article in the Boston Globe about prequels mentions Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea:

Jean Rhys's 1966 novel "Wide Sargasso Sea" (and the fine 1993 movie adapted from it) envisions what Rochester and the missus were up to before "Jane Eyre." (Ty Burr)

A. Asohan in The Star (Malaysia) reminisces about his youth reads, including the Brontë Babes:

I was lucky, having for a mother an English teacher who carelessly left her books lying around the house. This was in the old days, remember, when schools taught literature, allowing me to enjoy the works – most abridged, but some in their original entirety – of Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, even the Bronte Babes, plus a whole lot of other classical writers.

Also a student graduate who reads Jane Eyre in the East Valley Tribune and a lifelong couple who started their relationship at a screening of Wuthering Heights in the Boston Herald.

On the blogosphere: Unknowing posts about Jane Eyre, The Back and Visible Things reviews Jane Eyre 1944, Austen Pride traces a brief comparison between Jane Austen and the Brontës.
