Triple bill of television adaptations based on novels by Jane
Austen. In 'Mansfield Park' (2007), at 10, Fanny Price (Billie
Piper) goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's
husband, Sir Thomas (Douglas Hodge). Clever, studious, and a writer
with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, Fanny becomes
especially close to her cousin Edmund (Blake Ritson), Thomas's
younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen
mind and comes to the attention of a neighbour, Henry Crawford
(Joseph Beattie). Sir Thomas promotes this match, but to his
displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove
himself worthy. In 'Northanger Abbey' (2007), Catherine Moreland
(Felicity Jones), a spirited young beauty from the country, enters
into the depraved society of Bath with dreams and fantasies sparked
by her love of gothic romance novels. There she meets two men vying
for her affection - the dashing and jealous John Thorpe (William
Beck) and the gentle and sincere Henry Tilney (J.J. Field). Despite
the advice of her mischievous new friend Isabella (Carey Mulligan),
Catherine treats neither as more than a dear friend. That is until
Catherine accepts an invitation to Northanger Abbey from Henry's
grave and severe father, General Tilney (Liam Cunningham). In
'Emma' (1997), Kate Beckinsale stars as the eponymous heroine who
is intent on finding partners for everyone - but only if she thinks
they are the right coupling. Her efforts create confusion, and the
outspoken Mr Knightly pours scorn on her matchmaking - although he
may have ulterior motives for doing so.

A BBC dramatisation of George Eliot's classic novel about the lives
and loves of a group of people living on the cusp of the Industrial
Revolution in a small town named Middlemarch. These include young
Doctor Lydgate (Douglas Hodge), who arrives at Middlemarch hospital
full of idealism and determined to do good works; Dorothea Brooke
(Juliet Aubrey), who becomes attracted to the scholarly Edward
Casaubon (Patrick Malahide) and then finds herself trapped in an
ill-fated marriage; and Will Ladislaw (Rufus Sewell), a young lad
who awakens Dorothea's repressed passion and thereby changes the
course of her life.
Complete first and second series of the late 1980s drama about the
lives and loves of a group of fast-living city bankers. Mirroring
the bear-pit attitudes of the time, this series follows the
upwardly-mobile hopefuls at London-based investment bank, Shane
Longman, as they try to scramble up the corporate ladder, taking
risks, eating up the pressure, and following their instincts in
search of that elusive deal that will finally announce their
arrival in the city. Ah, the good old days of 'greed is good'!
