MASTERPIECE™ CLASSIC Emma

This adaptation of Jane Austen’s love story stars Romola Garai as a young woman whose attempts to play Cupid go awry. Parts 2 & 3, Thursday at 9 p.m. on PBS-HD by Colleen Greer

Rich, beautiful and hopelessly self-deluded, Emma Woodhouse can’t help meddling in the romantic life of others while neglecting her own. Jonny Lee Miller stars as Emma’s stalwart friend, Mr. Knightley, with Michael Gambon as her doom-obsessed father.

Part Three- How will Jane Austen, the master of happy endings, tie up the tangled affairs of her heroines Emma Woodhouse, Harriet Smith and Jane Fairfax? And what will she do about those mystifying men, Mr. Knightley and Frank Churchill?
