I suggest you email these people sales.helpdesk@bbc.com this is for TV sales but they should be able to put you in toucj with the right person, but it will take time. The BBC are clearly looking through the Horizon archives as they've released some eps from the 60s, 70s & 80s on IPlayer in the UK.

Which I know has already been shared but it may be worth looking at both Horizon from the BBC and Equinox from C4 as I know that NOVA did license or co-produce episodes with both broadcasters - still do.

TV person here, I wonder if its not on the NOVA episode list because it was actually initially produced by/for/with another broadcaster? In the 80s they did license episodes of Horizon from the BBC. So could it have been something like this (from a quick google) www.imdb.com/title/tt1750...?

It also reeks of misogyny & snobbery.

I studied Eyre for A'level, BA and MA, &, until MA, his character was usually just dismissed as depicting Victorian attitudes to women. Strangely Austen's characters were not treated the same, there are issues with most of them, but she at least accepts that women's freedoms & choices were limited.

Can I just say thank you. Its really nice, & rare, to see both characters called out in this way, too many people see these stories as 'great love' & the characters as 'misunderstood.' I'd love to put an age restriction on reading the Brontes, say 40.

On Sue Gray I did also wonder if there is an element of snobbery alongside the misogyny as she's not part of the Oxbridge club, etc.

Sending you and your family so much love. He was a brilliant actor, who was fantastic in Brass.

My brother is the same he broke his back when he was 19 & could only get coverage in the US via his employer. It was worse for his US citizen wife, she always maintained her US health insurance while they lived here, only for her insurer to cancel her policy when the NHS diasgnosed her MS.
