To Walk Invisible (2016 Sally Wainwright & scr)

It is ironic that the Bronte sisters' worries about how they would sustain themselves after the death of their father were pointless as they all died in their thirties. Weird sound mixing in which quotes from work overshadowed by music; at other times sisters' whispering does nothing for the plot. The brother is such a bad drunk we wished he had died earlier, but the finale - meeting the publishers - is a welcome ray of sunshine (before all the untimely deaths).

Finn Atkins (Charlotte), Chloe Pirrie (Emily), Charlie Murphy (Anne; Happy Valley), Adam Nagaitis, Jonathan Pryce, Joe Armstrong.
