Ambitious teacher Sarah Burton returns to her native Yorkshire to become headmistress of a struggling girls' school.

Andrew Davies's adaptation of Winifred Holtby's novel about community life in rural Yorkshire during the 1930s, starring Anna Maxwell Martin and David Morrissey, with Douglas Henshall, Shaun Dooley and Penelope Wilton
