Maxine Peake is excellent in the eponymous role of the early 19th century wealthy Yorkshire land owner, industrialist, and diarist in this handsome BBC production, which spends – slightly detrimentally – most of its time detailing a doomed affair with the married Mariana Lawton, whilst giving scant attention to her happy long-term relationship with Miss Ann Walker or her other varied personal and professional achievements.
