by Charlotte Bronte.
Adapted for television in six weekly instalments by Ada F. Kay.
[Starring] Jill Bennett, Michael Warre, Marda Vanne, Michael David

Scene: The school and the town of Villette
Lucy Snowe, an impoverished gentle-woman, takes a post in Villette teaching English in the school of Madame Beck. Triumphing over difficulties of language and inexperience, she establishes herself as a respected member of the staff. During the end-of-term fete she encounters and quarrels with the choleric Professor of Literature, M. Paul Emanuel. The school is in festive spirit, anticipating the summer vacation, but Lucy, friendless and homeless, is left only with the prospect of three months' solitary residence in the school.
