MASTERPIECE CLASSIC:
Wuthering Heights (2.5-hour mini-series)
Sundays, January 18 and 25 at 9pm ET on PBS
A thrilling new adaptation of Emily Bront‘Õs haunting classic, which chronicles the passionate spiritual bond between Heathcliff, an abandoned Gypsy boy adopted by the Earnshaw family of Wuthering Heights, and the familyÕs daughter, Cathy. Published in 1847, the novel was condemned by one critic as Òabominably paganÓ
for the dark passion throbbing in the heart of its irredeemable hero-villain.
Shown: Tom Hardy (right) as Heathcliff and newcomer Charlotte Riley as Cathy
