If you’re after a rollicking period drama, this could be the TV tonic for you. Based on Henry Fielding’s classic 18th century novel, Tom Jones follows the amorous adventures of the eponymous hero, abandoned as an infant only to be raised by the rich and altruistic Allworthy family. Starring Solly McLeod, Sophie Wilde as Tom’s beloved, and the Emmy-winning Hannah Waddington (Ted Lasso), you can catch this visually lavish tale of forbidden love for free on PBS now in the US and Canada.
The four-part series focuses on the burgeoning relationship between the “low-born” Tom, a rakish ladies’ man, and young heiress Sophia Western. They’re deeply in love. But with both belonging to a different social class, everything conspires against their union.
The high-born Sophia is fated to marry the vindictive William Blifil (James Wilbraham), while the lusty Tom is tempted into the bed of scheming London socialite Lady Bellaston (Waddington). So, can love overcome this besotted couples differences?
As well as providing a modernised take on Fielding’s novel – Sophia’s backstory is given more weight in this iteration – the series features an abundance of talent from British stage and screen. James Fleet (Sense and Sensibility) plays the kind-hearted Squire Allworthy, Alun Armstrong (Funny Cow, Sherwood) is Squire Western, and Shirley Henderson (Bridget Jones Diary, Happy Valley) stars as his pig-headed sister.
Then there’s Felicity Montagu, Susannah Fielding (This Time with Alan Partridge) and Dean Lennox Kelly as local rogue Black George.
