The two images, which can be seen above and below, reveal the two versions of Emma Harte across the years. One is being played by Vera star Brenda Blethyn – no green raincoat or fisherman's hat in sight –and the other by House of Guinness's Jessica Reynolds.
"A rags-to-riches tale of women through the 20th century, Emma defies the expectations of her society, fearlessly challenging the roles she's given, smashing glass ceilings, and never, ever deviating from her masterplan: Get to the top. Whatever it takes."
The eight-part series has been written by two of the writer's behind the Buccaneers, including that show's creator Katherine Jakeways along with Roanne Bardsley.
Also starring in this new version of A Woman of Substance will be Emmett J Scanlan (MobLand), Lydia Leonard (Wolf Hall), Leanne Best (This City Is Ours), Ewan Horrocks (The Last Kingdom), Harry Cadby (Everything Now), Will Mellor (Mr Bates vs the Post Office) and Lenny Rush (Doctor Who).
The original, Emmy-nominated adaptation of A Woman of Substance starred Jenny Seagrove, Deborah Kerr, Barry Bostwick and Liam Neeson, and was Channel 4’s biggest ever drama when it was made.
