The BBC P&P with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is not the “original”. That is the 1980 BBC version with a script by Faye Weldon that faithfully uses the language of Jane Austen. It is, in the opinion of many (including me), a superior version. You should find yourself a copy; they are not easy to come by but 2nd hand copies are available.

Just Google it.

Sorry, no wet shirts, just great acting and language to rejoice in.

Just heartbreaking the Irish govt's total incompetence in not installing light rail to Dublin airport before second terminal was built. Can there ever have been a more incompetent govt anywhere even in third world ? They only excel at pushing woke agenda, bikelanes & flowerbeds & wasting taxpayers' money.

Yes. Unforgivable.

Thanks for viewing so I don't have to!

Actually, I hate all these prequels and sequels that writers bereft of an original thought come up with. Riding on the coattails of the great. I scorn them all.

Not sure I agree with your assessment of London. Two or three years ago, this country bumpkin went up to London for his daughter's marriage ceremony. My daughter who works for the police warned me not to look anybody in the eye on the tube. A lot of our new arrivals, apparently, take umbrage at being looked at this way and tend to turn violent. However, I did survive the day.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll give this a pass if it ever gets over here.

I love how they don't check passports coming from Ireland. At least Britain observes the CTA, even if Ireland doesn't. Even at Shannon at 11 o'clock at night some poor sod has to sit in the box while we all shuffle through showing our passports. Only once was there noone there.
