Watching the 1995 BBC series on Pride and Prejudice now. Also caught up with 2005 movie version a bit.

I am inclined towards 1995 BBC series. Initially I thought Liz actor face and appearance was not that great. But she is growing on me now.



😃

OMG, Colin Firth as Mr.Darcy...

Dear Akka, Sands , Shailaja and PnP lovers,

I completed 6 part series in the weekend of the 1995 BBC serial. I will follow Akka's advice of reading the novel again.

What I liked most in BBC Series :

Darcy Portrayal ( The actor got it absolutely fantastic) - In some scenes Only his eyes spoke
The Dialogues and the language ( What kind of reverence and calling out/ greeting each other)
The Mrs & Mr Bennett both were very good. ( Mrs as the mother was too good)
Aunt was good and Uncle was Okayish.
Authenticity of the era - Loved those horse cartridges. ( This is where BBC kind of approach scores - No constraints on budgets at all ?)
Jane came as too goody goody I thought but may be the character was like that.

Mr. Collins actor as Akka said was also fantastic. Why did I remember Neville Longbottom suddenly when I saw this character ? I might be confused - His acting reminded me of some one from HP Series.

Pemberly Estate - Oh my god . If someone is going to get it, Darcy enna Darcy yoda thatha va kooda kalyanan pannikalam. 😉



I had seen some of these in New Engliand(Rhode Island) as well as in UK ( Cardiff) - UK Countryside is something to die for.

Interesting Responses.

But I am somehow tempted to think that Darcy gets disturbed by Elizabeth at the very sight on Day 1 when they meet in the ball.

It may not be that high regard , admiration and love which he proclaims later when he proposes. but there is something about her that catches his attention from first glance.

Sands - Would you agree ?

Dear Aunty,

Regarding that hypothetical situation of the TT turning up before my dad, and what the three of us would have done in that case, I guess the three of us would have singly used the nearest train bathroom!

@bold - you girls simply kill me with your humor!

How on earth you are reminded of Neville while watching Colin Firth is beyond me, my dear. But Colin did the brooding Darcy exquisitely. I did not like the 2005 version at all.

And you most definitely will need to read the book again.!

Anne, my hands are hurting, but I simply cannot pass this up!

You not only read skimpily but you do not read properly at all. Sri said that Collins reminded her of Neville Longbottom, NOT Darcy!

As for marrying Darcy's thatha, Sri dear, that might be more practical than it seems at first sight. He would surely kick the bucket very soon, and then you would have Pemberley all to yourself, without having to put up with him!😉

Anyhow, there is nothing but a succession of Chandra-Nandini scenes, and you are better off looking at them than reading my descriptions of them!😉</font>
