Transported anew to Florence via Forster

Share

Get ready for some sigh-worthy amore, British style. “Masterpiece” (KCET, tonight at 9) airs a new production, adapted by Andrew Davies, of the E.M. Forster classic “A Room With a View,” which was last filmed in 1985 by James Ivory, starring Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter and Judi Dench.

Elaine Cassidy is now Lucy Honeychurch, who arrives at an Italian guest house and is offered a room with a view by Mr. Emerson (Rafe Spall) and his eccentric son, George (Timothy Spall). We’re pre- dicting air traffic to Florence will surely rise after it airs.
