This is another stellar BBC production based on a classic novel by Jane Austen about the morals and mores of the class system in Georgian England.

This is another stellar BBC production based on a classic novel by Jane Austen about the morals and mores of the class system in Georgian England. The intelligent and spirited Elizabeth Bennet is one of 5 daughters -- which, during that era, meant trouble: because women cannot inherit, upon her father's death her family's home will become the property of their nearest male relative. Only marriage, preferably to someone wealthy, can ensure her security. But the proud young lady instantly takes offense when Mr. Darcy, a promising newcomer in town, doesn't seem quite admiring enough, and she spurns his advances. Slowly and painfully, Elizabeth realizes her error, but not before it seems she has lost Mr. Darcy forever...

    Pride and Prejudice!

    Pros: Addictive and Amusing!

    Cons: None!

    I first read the book when I was ten, I loved it and read it six more times after. When I was twelve I came accross a scene from the PBS station on channel 13 of Pride and Prejudice it was just at the beginning ( when Mary rushed out to see the coach...man with the baggages of the Bingleys) of the first scene that I realized what I was watching and I was hooked to watch the second (first one starred Sir Lawerence Oliver) remake of my favorite book done by BBC's Masterpiece Theater. This version was clean closer to the book and funny, no overstated sexual stuff in this DVD, you didn't even see one kiss on the lips. Which is good because the LORD has me so healed that I that I am weary of viewing nudity, sexaul situations, sexual remarks, pornograghy and intense kissing. A peck is good enough! :-) Read more Less

    Far superior actors to 1996 A&E version

    By Keri  Aug 20, 2003

    I saw this on Masterpiece Theator back in the 80's and it was wonderful! Elizabeth Garvie was great as Elizabeth Bennet, but David Rintoul as Darcy! Wow, talk about sexual tension! He makes Colin Firth's acting (in the A&E 90's version) l...ook stiff and dull. (Firth was the worst Darcy I've seen frankly) Read more Less
