According to this article in the Daily Mail, broadcasters will be showing a brand-spanking-new adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles (you know, the book about the hard-working, pious girl who is raped by her employer and abandoned by her husband and eventually executed) as "as a tonic to the gloomy economic outlook".

Note to self: Never take a tonic for anything from a Daily Mail staff member.
