TUESDAY 3 MARCH
Emma (1996) **** (out of 5)
BBC Four, 9.00pm
Gwyneth Paltrow’s American iciness melts in this deft adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic comic romance. She is Emma Woodhouse, spoilt, charming and an inveterate meddler. Only Mr Knightley (Jeremy Northam) dares challenge her behaviour – but what are his motives? A fun, clever film with a superb supporting cast including Toni Collette and Juliet Stevenson that will make you forget the inadequate BBC version.
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. (Charles M. Schulz)
