To
celebrate the region 2 release by ITV DVD of three of their much loved
period dramas, Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the Durbervilles and
Wuthering Heights, we have one copy of each to give away.
Adapted for television from the
work of literary giants Thomas Hardy and Emily Brontë, these fantastic
classics boast a host of stars.
Thomas Hardy's Tess of the
D'Urbervilles is a stunning production of Thomas Hardy's 19th
century love story. This breathtaking television drama adaptation stars
Justine Waddell (Dracula 2000, Mansfield Park) as Tess Durbeyfield,
Jason Flemying (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells) as Alex
D'Urbervilles, Oliver Milburn (Green Wing) as Angel Clare. |

| This
classic tale of a peasant girl's life, torn apart by the love and
jealousy of two men was filmed principally in Dorset, using many of the
authentic locations featured by Hardy in the book.

stars Paloma Baeza (The Way We Live Now) as Bathsheba Everdene,
Nathaniel Parker (The Inspector Lynley Mysteries) as Gabriel Oak, Nigel
Terry as Mr Boldwood and Jonathan Firth (Ghost Whisperer) as Sergeant
Frank Troy. A story of passion and destruction in the 19th Century -
Bathsheba Everdene is an impulsive flighty and bewitching young woman
with a fiercely independent nature who ensnares, and almost destroys the
lives of three men.
Emily Bronte's Wuthering
Heights, starS Matthew Macfadyen (Pride and Prejudice), Peter
Davison (Doctor Who), Sarah Smart (Jane Hall) and Tom Georgeson (Bleak
House). Nothing is known of Heathcliffe's past when Mr Earnshaw adopts
him into his own family, but his daughter Cathy recognises a similar
soul. They are divided by birth, class and by Cathy's jealous brother,
but nothing can break the bond between them, not even when Cathy marries
the wealthy and gentle Edgar Linton. |
