Masterpiece Theatre Classic | Tess of the d'Urbervilles | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/classic/index.html Sundays January 4 and 11, 2009 on PBS. Violated by one man, forsaken by another, Tess Durbeyfield is the magnificent and spirited heroine of Thomas Hardy's heartbreaking novel. New Bond girl Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) stars as Tess, joined by Hans Matheson (Dr. Zhivago) as her seducer, Alec, and Eddie Redmayne (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) as Angel, the idealistic and self-deceiving man she loves.

@WoundedWolfgirl lol I think ur awesome. Just this movie

[WoundedWolfgirl]

@Magoonski Actually, Masterpiece is owned by PBS. Most of the programs that appear on it are from the BBC (or other British channels such ITV), but PBS is indeed the owner. And many Period Drama miniseries are actually co-productions of the BBC and PBS (WGBH Boston). Wow, I can't believe I know all that. Think it's time I got a life, eh? ;)

I love this show sooo much, but so sad:(

[cndwindy]

I saw this and I cried soo much. I didn't like it when my teacher assigned for us to read it, but to this day I'm glad. It's my favorite book and the best love story. Even though it ends sadly I still love the book. Poor Tess!

[janeEyreAddict]

[amortenti]

i absolutely loved this! it made me cry so badly and unlike anything else I have seen before, that last episode. of course, having read the book already, i knew what would happen...but i didn't expect for the pain to be felt again :( truly a sad story, but great.
