Additional news for those with similar tastes to mine who may be in need of distraction: The BBC is showing the 1996 series of Pride and Prejudice which has the absolutely divine performance by Jennifer Ehle as Lizzie Bennett, oh, and that chap Wossname who does a passable Mr Darcy. They're now up to Episode 3, which features Mr Darcy looking like a caged tiger who would like to murder everyone in the drawing room and ravish Lizzie on the nearest sofa. Ahem. Also, BBC Sounds has begun airing the entire series of Cabin Pressure all over again. Alphabetically, of course.

I may, erm, own a copy of the 1996 Pride and Prejudice. :D

[nanila]

As do I! *safely social distanced via internet fist-bump*

[pbristow]

The 1996 version? Hmmm... Plus points, it has Julia Sawalha in it!

Minus points, absence of any of the following:
Elizabeth Garvie as Elizabeth Bennet
Priscilla Morgan as Mrs. Bennet
Moray Watson as Mr. Bennet
Sabina Franklyn as Jane Bennet
Tessa Peake-Jones as Mary Bennet
Judy Parfitt as Lady Catherine de Bourgh
...or a script by Fay Wheldon

Take me back to 1980! =:o}

I should like to see that version! I never have.

This household overall is a vote for Mark as favourite but I put Liz because I like both of them and I don't think she'll quite make the final and I wanted to mention her somewhere. I love the "Well OK you can make me make lingerie but it's going to be black shorts" and I loved her tea dress, although my children took it as proof that my fashion sense is stuck in the 1990s. I said of course it is, after that, I had you lot and lost a decade.

I have caught the end of two episodes of P&P now and landed in the worst proposal ever scene this week. I should remember which day it is on.

I loved that lingerie set and was most put out that it didn't win garment of the week.

It's on Thursdays. Haha, that proposal. "You must allow me to tell you how much I admire and love you." STOP THERE, DARCY. STOP THERE. THAT'S ENOUGH. But no. Of course he has to keep monologuing. *facepalm*

[askygoneonfire]

I love Liz *so much*

[nanila]

Liz represents! Goths love Sewing Bee too!
