'Jane Eyre' is the1983 adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel. Young orphan Jane Eyre (Zelah Clarke) becomes the governess in the mansion of the mysterious Mr Rochester (Timothy Dalton).

Ken Hutchison stars as the brooding and tormented lover Heathcliff. Adopted as a boy by the kindly Mr Earnshaw (John Collin), Heathcliff comes to live with the family at their home, Wuthering Heights, in the Yorkshire moors. He soon falls in love with Earnshaw's headstrong daughter Cathy (Kay Adshead), a doomed relationship that plunges them both into despair when Cathy agrees to marry her rich neighbour Edgar Linton (David Robb). Heathcliff, it turns out, makes a particularly spiteful jilted lover.
