In Search of the Brontes: Gone like Dreams

on BBC One London

Tragedy comes to Haworth parsonage in the conclusion to a two-part biography of the 19th-century literary sisters.

With financial penury looming, the sisters turn to novel writing. Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights cause a sensation when they are published. But success is marred by calamitous family fortunes.

Narrated by Patricia Routledge.
