You're Dead to Me

Greg Jenner finds tragedy and triumph in the Brontë story in a special episode with parodies, sketch comedy, and a quiz aimed at Key Stage 2 learners and families. The programme reveals how the sisters used gender-neutral pen names to get published, how their brother Branwell tried (and mostly failed) to join in, and how their novels were shaped by their real-life experiences.
