Emma Woodhouse is a congenial young lady who delights in meddling in other people's affairs. She is perpetually trying to unite men and women who are utterly wrong for each other. Despite her interest in romance, Emma is clueless about her own feelings and her relationship with gentle Mr Knightly. Acknowledged as one of Austen's finest novels, Emma has been dramatised with all the usual attention to detail and impeccable acting that we have come to expect from the BBC.
