1985, according to the BBC Jane Austen DVD box set; 1980, according to IMDB. Who are you going to believe? I suppose I could put one of the DVDs in the player and see what the copyright date is.
Personally I think the 1995 version (with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy) is better - Susannah Harker is excellent as as Jane, while Benjamin Whitrow (as Mr. Bennet), Alison Steadman (as Mrs. Bennet) and Barbara Leigh-Hunt (as Lady Catherine) offer strong supporting characters. But the best performance in a minor role is David Bamber as the oleaginous Mr Collins.
