Actress and writer Sheila Hancock has long been fascinated by the life and works of the Brontë sisters. In this programme, she searches for an answer to a puzzling question: “How did three spinsters who spent most of their lives in a remote parsonage on the edge of the moors come to write books so shocking, erotic, profoundly moving and quite wonderful?.” Sheila embarks on a journey that starts in the Yorkshire village of Haworth and the brutal moors that inspired Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, moves on to Brussels, where Charlotte Brontë developed the writing style that made Jane Eyre an enduring masterpiece, and ends in Scarborough, the last resting place of Anne Brontë.

Joan Bakewell visits Haworth in Yorkshire, home of the Brontës, to see the setting in which the novelists worked.

May and her younger sister, Carol, live in a small town. May is the more lovely of the two, but Carol is wooed by Frank, a country boy. George, a city man, comes to town on a visit, falls in love with Carol and wins her away from Frank. Carol is pleased with his attentions and poor Frank is brokenhearted. Calling one day to see Carol, George meets May and falls madly in love with her, and finally runs away with her and they are married. Carol, in despair, turns back to Frank and they are married, and a year later a baby is born.

The Sisters Plotz is a frothy romp through the lives of three eccentric heiresses. Dry Dada poetess Celestia, enthusiastic yet incompetent inventor Ladybug, and spacey artist Whimsellica live in a Manhattan townhouse with their darling butler Reginald, who is also Ladybug's love interest. Their lives are perfectly glorious every moment, as they don't have to do anything they don't want to do, hooray! Occasionally, however, a minor problem occurs, such as when Ladybug creates an invention and Whimsellica accidentally blows up the room with it. Or when Reginald's brother Henthrop tries to convince people that Reginald is evil, because Henthrop is jealous of Reginald's beautiful head of hair and the fact that Reginald is really an earl (who only does buttling for the social experiment of seeing what work is like). There are also the seemingly sweet but actually scheming maids, who plan to steal the sisters' jewels, and the fact that society gossip columnist Petula Feather, who ...
