Masterpiece Classic: Sense and Sensibility

Levelheaded Elinor Dashwood and her impulsive sister Marianne attract a trio of very promising gentlemen. Parts 1 & 2, Thursday beginning t 8 p.m. on PBS-HD 6.

Sense is correct judgment. Sensibility is quickness of emotion. Two sisters with wildly different proportions of each throw their hearts into the search for true love in MASTERPIECE’s delightful adaptation of Jane Austen’s first published novel.

Sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood have opposite approaches when it comes to the pursuit of love. One is tempered and rational, the other impulsive and full of youthful passion.

The sisters attract a trio of suitors -- handsome Edward Ferrars (Dan Stevens, The Line of Beauty), heroic Colonel Brandon (David Morrissey, State of Play), and effusive John Willoughby (Dominic Cooper, The History Boys). But are the men as genuine as they seem? A romantic odyssey full of seduction and abandonment unfolds in Andrew Davies's bold adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel.

Sense and Sensibility, Thursday at 8 p.m. on PBS-HD 6.
