Clarissa
Based on the 18th century novel by Samuel Richardson this classic BBC production stars Sean Bean as Lovelace, a handsome young rake with one ruthless ambition: to seduce - and thus destroy - the beautiful young virgin Clarissa Harlowe (Saskia Wickham). As Clarissa is forced by her scheming family into the predatory Lovelace's arms, it seems that his strategy is certain to succeed. But Lovelace has failed to reckon with both Clarissa's strength of character and his one fatal weakness: his own heart. For the first time in his life, he is shocked to find himself genuinely infatuated by his prey - a failing that drives him to new heights of decadence and sows the seeds of his own destruction.
