I’ve seen all the film versions of this book (Timothy Dalton being my favourite Heathcliff) but this sounds too smutty for my liking so I won’t be watching it.

Has anyone else watched Wuthering Heights 2026 on sky? I was hugely disappointed. It was very loosely based on the classic by Emily Bronte but that was the only connection. Just an excuse for gratuitous sex. They even changed Catherine Earnshaw's hair to blonde! I kept watching hoping it would get better. It didn't! I watched the original black and white version on TV when I was young and I was enthralled. My mother pointed to the book in our bookcase and I read it along side watching the TV version which was as close to the original story as you could get. However I doubt he 2026 version would ever inspire anyone to read the book! What do other Gransnet ladies (and gents) think?
