Actually, I got the date wrong: it's around 1985ish. Fay Weldon did the
screenplay and Elizabeth Garvie plays Elizabeth and David Rintoul plays Mr.
Darcy. This version is more like a video drama really. I like it because
it really lets Austen's dialogue shine; in my view anyway.
Also, if you liked Emma Thompson's version of Sense and Sensibility, I
recommend reading her published diary of the making of the movie. Very fun
read. Cheers, Christine

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.

We've rented newer versions, but we never finish watching them--they are
pretty stinky in our view.

Oh yes, I forgot to thank you for the Glenfiddich! Much appreciated :)
*any Jane Austen fans? See Pride and Prejudice.
Do you have the new version? You know, the one with the zombies?
