Jane Eyre is a six-part 1956 British TV adaptation of the 1847 novel by Charlotte Brontë. Unlike most BBC programming of the 1950s, the series survives intact, but had not been shown publicly in decades beyond a single 55 second clip on BBC iPlayer, until a complete bootlegged copy of all six episodes was uploaded to YouTube on 5 June 2025.
