Gemma Arterton is Tess

Tess of the d'Urbervilles will be aired on Masterpiece Classic on your local PBS stations on Sunday, January 4th & January 11th. Gemma Arterton, who played Lizzy Bennet last fall in ITV's Lost in Austen will play the very innocent, naive Tess.

It is such a fantastic novel and the series does it almost enough justice, though some fine detail have been left out.

WATCH IT.

It's awesome.
