What happens

Wuthering Heights is a 1978 British TV adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights, starring Ken Hutchison, Kay Adshead, Pat Heywood, and John Duttine, originally broadcast on BBC Two as a 5-part miniseries, beginning 24 September 1978. Location filming took place on the Yorkshire Moors Broad Head Lane, Oakworth, Keighley, West Yorkshire. This BBC version is regarded as being the one most faithful to the original novel because it does not end with Cathy's death but continues into the next generation, with Heathcliff seeking revenge against those he felt had wronged him.
