Jane Eyre

Originally broadcast in 2006, this screen adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's novel charts the journey of its title character as she becomes an orphan and battles to forge a brighter future.

Across four episodes, the programme takes viewers on a magnificent expedition through this timeless tale, starring Ruth Wilson in the titular role alongside Toby Stephens as Edward Rochester.

The two gradually fall for one another despite his peculiar conduct and the enigmatic noises she hears echoing through the residence.

It said: "A wonderful adaptation of this classic. The casting is excellent; Ruth makes a delightful and intriguing Jane, and Toby Stephens is an utterly fantastic Rochester.

"This is a compelling series; each episode leaves you anxious to see the next. The set designers and costume designers have excelled themselves, and the lighting in particular is superb." (Angie Quinn)
