Mine, too. But there was a mini series called Lost in Austen that was fun. Elizabeth Bennet walks into a modern-day London flat and the flat resident enters the Bennet home and interacts with all the characters of Pride and Prejudice.

I prefer the 1995 version. I do like the 2005 film, but it felt rushed. (Then again, they didn’t 5 to 6 hours running time to work with.)

The BBC version with Colin Firth absolutely no question. But it depends if you want to watch horror, which Jane Austin did not intend!

1995 BBC is fabulous but I love the kitschy musical Bride and Prejudice. Bollywood!

I watched it last night! I adore it! I’d forgotten it had my favorite Gilmore Girl in it.
