Wuthering Heights is a 1953 British TV production of Emily Brontë's classic 1847 novel.[1] It was made because Richard Todd, then at the height of his film popularity, expressed interest in playing Heathcliff and the BBC arranged for an adaptation to be made.[2]
The production was very popular, although no recordings are thought to have survived.[3] Kneale's script was filmed in Australia in 1959.[4]
