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

[AngeloMysterioso]

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

Any suggestions?

[CoffeeRunner]

The Tudors?

The Other Boleyn Girl? (film not series).

[Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons]

Death comes to Pemberley - PD James' idea of their post P&P life & of course being James there is intrigue. It's wonderful & the casting is perfect.

The older series of Emma with Jonny Lee Miller as Mr K

The Tudors?

The Other Boleyn Girl? (film not series).

Oh yes, The Tudors is a great shout.
Don’t know if you can still get Versailles anywhere (I think it was on Ch4, or BBC2). That was another good historical romp.

Wives and daughters - Justine wadell one.
The Johnny Lee miller version of Emma
Agree with death comes to pemberly. I was worried it would be a bit rubbish and ruin p&p but it was really good.

[Vallmo47]

Ooooh a lot of like minded people here

[miffmufferedmoof]

Don’t watch Cranford if you don’t like sad things!

[Toilenstripes]

Valmont with Colin Firth

[ScottishDiblet]

The Buccaneers was AMAZING.

[MaloInAnAppleTree]

Middlemarch is on BritBox featuring a young Rufus Sewell in tight britches and a lovely burgundy greatcoat.

[YesToThis]

Maybe Brideshead Revisited - the Jeremy Irons version?

Or from another angle because it's riffing off the BBC version in particular - Lost in Austen?

[SleepyPartyTime]

Love and friendship
Sense and sensibility with Emma Thompson

[SleepyPartyTime]

Ooo yes also Brideshead revisisted the Granada TV version.

[SleepyPartyTime]

Hope and Glory (set in WW2 so not really period but still a good film)

[ZittiEBuoni]

Cranford is just lovely.

North and South if you like a dark, brooding hero (and who doesn't?)

My all time favourite was Barchester Chronicles from the early 80s - Donald Pleasence cast against type as a kindly old clergyman and a young(ish) Alan Rickman as the utterly repellent (but weirdly attractive, how does that even make sense?) Obadiah Slope.

The Way We Live Now with David Suchet

[Callmecordelia]

The dvd of Wildfell Hall is available. I have it.

My sisters and I still occasionally quote it to each other. No one can say "I daresay" like Toby Stephens....

[twiggytwoo]

What about Hornblower or Sharpe?

[Ormally]

Maybe the series of Bleak House with Anna Maxwell-Martin, although it is a bit darker than P and P. Very good though.

A drama from a few years back called The Paradise.

[ArtemisBean]

I second Barchester Towers! Also War and Peace with Anthony Hopkins. The Pallisers. The First Churchills. All oldies but goodies!

Yes I'd forgotten Barchester Chronicles - definitely. Also has Humphrey from Yes Minister

Oh my goodness I am so jealous. I had it on dvd, lost it in a house move and regularly think that would be my perfect watch tonight
Tara Fitzgerald and Toby Stevens were brilliant.

[Fruityfriday]

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall can be purchased on Amazon Prime !

[Notonthestairs]

Stephens even!
