In Search of the Brontes

BBC One
on BBC One London

The lives of the literary sisters are told in a new two-part dramatisation narrated by Patricia Routledge.
4 Wish for Wings. Based on letters written by the three sisters and new research by historian Juliet Barker this is a tale of genius, thwarted passion and a 19th-century quest for fame which shatters many myths that have surrounded the family. Concludes next Sunday.
