If I really love the 90’s Pride and Prejudice series, what else might I like?

I need something to binge. I’ve got Netflix, Amazon Prime and some Sky channels and On Demand stuff through Virgin Media.

Any suggestions?

Downton?
Lady Chatterley's Lover
Bridgerton

colouringindoors · 11/06/2021 20:28

Downton Abbey

if you want something racier, Bridgerton Grin

AngeloMysterioso · 11/06/2021 20:32

Seen all 3. Wasn’t that impressed by Bridgerton tbh, the girl got on my nerves!

Death comes to Pemberley.

Love and Friendship

Persuasion (there are many versions - I quite like the most recent BBC attempt which is probably 10 years old but I love the Ciaran Hinds version)

BBC version of Emma with Romola Garai and Jonny something.

I loved the Tenant of Wildfell Hall but that's ancient and unlikely to be available.

North and South

North and South

Not much really comes close to the BBC pride and prejudice.

tilder · 11/06/2021 20:42

Cross post!

BakedTattie · 11/06/2021 20:43

Jane eyre?

PuppyMonkey · 11/06/2021 20:44

You’ve probably seen the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility?

Room with a View with Helena BC?

All the Emmas are great imho too.

Remains of the Day.

fortunacookie · 11/06/2021 20:44

I loved pride and prejudice but also loved Bridgerton

PuppyMonkey · 11/06/2021 20:45

Bridgerton was terrible and not in a good way imho.

Notonthestairs · 11/06/2021 20:47

Sanditon? (I recorded it but haven't watched it - don't know why).

Outlander (only series 1 but it is v violent)

Medici on Netflix if you like a bit of Italian history but aren't bothered by accuracy and Dustin Hoffman playing a medieval Italian)

RiverSkater · 11/06/2021 20:48

Is it the romance or it being a period drama?

For starters:
North and Southgate
Wives and Daughters
Dr Thorne
Any other Jane Austen, the 1996 Persuasion in particular.
Anne of Green Gables 80s version
Cranford

RiverSkater · 11/06/2021 20:49

South not Southgate bloody football!!

LionMummyRoar · 11/06/2021 20:49

North and South (if you can find it- I still have it on DVD!)
Sanditon
Tenant of Wildfell was lovely, if anyone knows where to find it, please say!

ThursdayWeld · 11/06/2021 20:52

Larkrise To Candleford

Cowbells · 11/06/2021 20:52

Cranford with Judi Dench - really heartwarming
Persuasion with Amanda Root - exceedingly good
The Way We Live Now with Anton Lesser
Vanity Fair with Olivia Cooke

Snozzlemaid · 11/06/2021 20:52

Definitely North and South

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 11/06/2021 20:53

Anything with Colin Firth in....😍

Bridget Jones?

ElizabethTudor · 11/06/2021 20:54

Jane Eyre with Ruth Wilson & Toby Stephens (fit)

mogtheexcellent · 11/06/2021 20:55

The hattie morahan sp? version of sense and sensibility is the best imo. Also ciaran hinds persuasion.

Death comes to pemberly is also very good.

Laska2Meryls · 11/06/2021 20:55

The 1983 Mansfield Park with Sylvestra Le Touzel and Anna Massey ?
Emma with Kate Beckinsale and Mark Strong
Barchester Chronicles with Alan Rickman

Mareofwesttown · 11/06/2021 20:55

Jane Eyre, the Samantha Morton and Cieran Hinds version. They were exactly as the book. It’s on eBay for about £2!

Laska2Meryls · 11/06/2021 20:57

Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds .. he is definitely the ultimate Captain Wentworth
