Oliver Twist (2007 BBC)

Wuthering Heights (1998)
Wuthering Heights is the wild, passionate story of intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and, wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact terrible revenge for his former miseries.
Directed by David Skynner, and written by Neil McKay, it stars Robert Cavannah and Orla Brady as the fated lovers Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, supported by Matthew Macfadyen as Hindley's son Heareton.
Jane Eyre (1997)
Subject of numerous adaptations, Charlotte Bronte's masterpiece Jane Eyre continues to have an enduring appeal even after two centuries since its publication. This particular adaptation has been grossly underestimated and overlooked. Starring Ciaran Hinds as the enigmatic Mr Rochester and academy award nominated Samantha Morton as the eponymous heroine Jane Eyre, this tv movie retains much of Charlotte's original and portrays characters as well as it can in one and a half hours. Samantha's portrayal of Jane has been considered the finest and most true to the Charlotte's Jane; and Ciaran's Rochester perfectly embodies the rugged charm and native pith that Charlotte writes of him in the novel.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, for this indeed is one of the better adaptations.
