PERSUASION

BRITBOX MOVIE

Sally Hawkins (right) and Rupert Penry-Jones star in this 2007 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s last completed novel. Unmarried Anne Elliot – pretty much on the shelf at the ancient age of 27 – and naval man Captain Wentworth meet again eight years after she was persuaded by snooty friends and family to reject him and end their engagement. She still loves him, but is it now too late for the pair?
