Mary Thorne, penniless and with undisclosed parentage, grows up under the guardianship of her uncle Doctor Thorne.

As they close on the world of adult cares and responsibilities, the past starts to impinge and the financial woes of the Gresham family threaten to tear relationships apart.

Critical reaction
Response from the critics seems to have been mixed, muted, subdued, or downright critical. Even those who were predisposed to like aspects of the adaptation were not without points of issue. The Telegraph initially registered a largely positive opening assessment, although it also had some criticisms. By the end of the series its review was more mixed, yet it wanted more episodes anyway.
