What happens

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the first adaptation of Anne Brontë's 1848 novel of the same name, produced by BBC and directed by Peter Sasdy. The serial stars Janet Munro as Helen Graham, Bryan Marshall as Gilbert Markham and Corin Redgrave as her spoiled and drunkard husband Arthur Huntington. The serial is incomplete, as episode one, "Recluse", is missing from the BBC Archive. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
