Produced by John Cardy Part 3 (conclusion): Sunset and Sunrise
First of fifteen instalments
When we left our Middlemarch friends at the end of Part 2. Fred Vincy was still entertaining hopes of winning Mary Garth and had started working for her father. Dorothea Casaubon had resigned herself to the inevitable parting with Ladislaw since her late husband's harshly discriminating will had driven a wedge between them. And Lydgate? He was struggling with debts, and his wife, his little Rosie. was no help to him.
