Two romantic timelines collide in the classic film based on the John Fowle’s novel of the same name, airing on Sunday 23rd at 9pm. Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons are two actors playing the lead roles in a film exploring a Victorian love affair, but the lines between their real and on-screen lives begin to blur when they embark upon a passionate affair themselves.
A study in the differences between the time periods and an examination of illicit love, this stylish movie set in the dramatic seafront landscape of Lyme Regis was nominated for five Academy Awards and won three BAFTAs and a Golden Globe.
