Part 1 of 5 of the 1978 adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic novel. Newly moved into the area, Mr Lockwood makes the fateful journey to visit his landlord Heathcliff at his desolate moorland farmhouse. Finding him and most of the occupants somewhat morose and surly, he is nevertheless forced to stop overnight after a snowstorm prevents him from leaving. But during the night he has an unnerving experience with a mysterious figure at the window begging to be let in and as he tries to calm his nerves he hears the story of the family, of Heathcliff and the ghostly figure of Catherine Earnshaw...br br Starring Ken Hutchison, Richard Kay, Barbara Keogh, Brian Wilde, Cathryn Harrison, David Wilkinson, John Duttine, Kay Adshead, John Collin, Patricia Healey, Pat Heywood, Paul Dawkins, Maggie Wilkinson, Dennis Burgess, Wendy Williams, Barry Hart, Robin Glynn, Dale Tarry, Maria Swailes, Mitchall Varnam, Grant Bardsley and Julia Stark. Originally broadcast on September 24th 1978, this was recently repeated on BBC4 this week, which is why I decided to upload it here. This is my aunt's favourite version of Wuthering Heights, due to it being faithful to the novel and not curtailing it at Cathy's death (sorry, spoiler alert). However for me and possibly for some others, this is a little heavy going. However, the weather in the UK is rainy and windswept, so at least it sets the mood, as does the haunting doomy theme tune. So sit back and watch as we begin the story of how Cathy and Heathcliff first came to know each other.
