Ooh Mr Darcy!

Pride and prejudice is on BBC 4 at 8pm... episode 1. You’re welcome 😊

I've just rewatched this on Netflix, my 15 year old daughter walked through and then she binge watched it all! She loved it.

"You have delighted us long enough"

One of my all-time favourite lines, that one.

Yes fleamaker IMO THAT is the best bit between them in the film. Because SHE is finally in love with him.

onlook I like the line to her oldest sister about her thinking it was the grounds of Pemberley that changed her rmind!!

MrsJamin

I would also recommend the BBC version of Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds. It's the best Austen IMO, much as I love P & P.

This remains my all time favourite period drama. I said at the start of lockdown I could do with a P&P binge, and voila!

After DD was born in September I used to take her downstairs in the mornings while DH slept on (I got a nap in the afternoon). It was our special time together, and by three weeks old we'd watched the 1995 P&P, the 2008-2009 BBC Emma and Sense & Sensibility, Sandition (even DH was unimpressed with that), the Cairan Hinds Persuasion and North & South. It was tough but I felt it was my duty as a mother DH used to stroll in and say, "who's that? Why's she being a dick?" etc, get a coffee and then pretend not to watch whatever was on.

I really wish they'd remaster the BBC P&P. It was done so right- six episodes was what was needed, you can't do the story justice in a film.

WOW The Craic ! That's real dedication

I agree about P&P needing the 6 eps. The remastered version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is always being reshown somewhere on weekend telly!

I agree. It is perfect.

Agh, it's not on iPlayer! I've never seen it. Is the movie of Love and Friendship any good, with Kate beckensale in it?

1995 P&P is so great. I never tire of it. I’ve never seen a better Darcy, or Lizzy, or Mr & Mrs Bennett, or Lydia, or Mr Collins.

The 1995 BBC is miles better than the KK film however I do like Dame Judi as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Add her to the 1995 cast and you'd have perfection!

Yes we were saying that upthread margots Judy is a great LCdeB.

I always feel a bit sorry for her poor daughter. JA isn't kind to her.

Didn't Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle have a relationship after filming

Yes. Lucky old Jennifer!

Indeed..

Bet there was a bit of role play

Sorry I'll stop now.
