What's it about?
Set it 19th century England and based on Jane Austen's novel of the same name, the 6-part series follows the story of Elizabeth Bennet - a very progressive thinking young woman who comes from a poor family and has 4 sisters. In no rush to marry, like her other sisters, Elizabeth gets involved with a wealthy, but proud gentleman mr Darcy.
Why watch it?
If you're an Austen fan; if you like Colin Firth as mr Darcy; for clever dialogue; for a light-hearted romance; if you like British culture and 19th century fashion; to explore a classic feminist story.
