Emma

Based On the book by Jane Austen

Emma was a six-part TV serial adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma by BBC Television that was broadcast in 1972. It was directed by John Glenister. This dramatisation brings to life the wit and humour of Jane Austen's novel Emma, recreating the female character of whom she wrote, "no one but myself could like." Emma presides over the small provincial world of Highbury with enthusiasm, but she finds that it is all too easy to confuse good intentions with self-gratification. Often insensitive, well-meaning and incorrigible – believing that she engineered the marriage of her governess, companion and friend Miss Taylor – she now turns her attention towards making a match for the local vicar Mr Elton and her new protégée Harriet Smith.
