Episode image for Emma

Duration: 1 hour, 56 minutes

Adaptation of the Jane Austen classic about a privileged young woman's misguided attempts at matchmaking. Wealthy and charming Emma Woodhouse is convinced she knows what is best for everyone's love life. Having never been in love herself, she is naive about matters of the heart and is gently guided by the patient Mr Knightley, a family friend whom she regards as a brother. But when Emma falls for a newcomer to the village, the eligible bachelor Mr Churchill, she fails to recognise that her own true love may have been right before her eyes all along.
