This version is noted for being faithful to the original novel. It ran on the Sunday tea-time slot, where at the time the BBC often ran faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It was originally broadcast in six 25-minute episodes on BBC 1, from 18 February to 25 March 1973. It was also licensed for distribution by 20th Century-Fox Television, for use on ABC affiliates in the United States.
