The first episode was made during the Spring Term of 2013 and released at the start of the Easter holidays. It involved a day trip to Haworth to film at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, interview Anne Sutton (the collection manager), and to gather shots from the local graveyard, church and the (freezing cold) moors. Further interviews with academic staff took place on campus over several afternoons. The main theme discussed was the influence of the siblings' juvenilia - their childhood imaginary kingdoms of Angria and Gondal - upon their later works, and the museum allowed us access to wonderful artefacts, including minuscule hand-written plays, watercolours and the pivotal wooden soldier toys. As if the reward of exploring literature itself was not enough, the tea room and the pub were also visited.
