Plot
Tom and Maggie Tulliver are a brother and sister who live in a mill beside the river Floss. Maggie is a tomboy, who gets into romantic difficulties which lead to her disgrace. A quality production which has become synonymous with the BBC and is perfect for conveying this rather modern tale of a young woman striving for independence in matters of life and love. The story is loosely autobiographical explaining the troubles that George Eliot herself had whilst in a relationship with a married man.
