Wuthering Heights (1978 Television Serial)
''Wuthering Heights'' is a 1978 British film adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel ''Wuthering Heights'', starring Ken Hutchison, Kay Adshead, Pat Heywood, and John Duttine, originally broadcast on BBC Two as a 5-part miniseries, beginning 24 September 1978.
