ETA: Due to lots of questions of when this production will be airing in the US, I'm posting here what robertinbc was so kind as to share:

"In January 2008, PBS will be showing The Complete Jane Austen. They will show Mansfield Park, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey which were shown in the U.K. earlier this year. The new Sense and Sensibility will also be shown along with Emma(A&E version) and Pride and Prejudice(BBC version)."

I guess if one is not a fan of period pieces in general. :-( They liked North & South though! :-D

Dickens is almost an aquired taste to some degree -- it's easy to take it at face value and miss the underlying themes, IMO. But you're right about BH! Magnificent!

I'll think about it. ;-) I try not to watch movies with nude scenes and that kind of stuff. Call me a prude if you wish! ;-P

! It seems hard to find people that like costume films. :{

Yes, and aquired taste. Absolutely.

OH. Well then a warning, there is some nudity. But more so of 'still bodies' rather than sex.

Everyone is prude to an extent! :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

And even harder to find good costume films! ;-)

Thanks for the heads up! And for being understanding. A lot of people turn up their noses!

Byron? Hmmm. Maybe I should make myself one that says Austen, Bronte, and Gaskell! :-D

[psychie.livejournal.com]

Yes! Agreed. Though I do have quite a collection of the good ones. The things that will turn me off the most are bad accents. I know that sounds snobbish, but still!

Absolutely! Everyone is entitled to like what they want or watch what they want! :D

I just love him. His words. -sigh- Have you seen the mini series?

Oh, I think you should!! I desperately want other Gaskell works adapted.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Do you? That must be enjoyable! I'm just building mine. ;-) And bad accents drive me up the wall! I also cannot stand Americans playing Brits. But I like it when Brits play Americans. Go figure!

What mini series? I didn't know there was one! I'm more into novels as opposed to poetry...*hides*

They're making Cranford! With Judi Dench!! *rubs hands togther with glee* Plus a whole bunch of other costume drama veterans. ;-P Greg Wise and Julia Sawalha, too.

It is so well done. Very touching. -sigh-

YES. I cannot stand Americans playing Brits. Unless unless unless they've had proper teachings on British dialects!

I am very very excited for Cranford! I do believe it comes out in November. Huzzah!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

It certainly sounds sad! Bleak House was sad enough for me. ;-P

That's one of the reasons I am not looking forward to Becoming Jane...or the new Bronte movie they're making. :-/

November for what country? I'm in the US, and unfortunately we always have to wait longer than England. *pouts*

[psychie.livejournal.com]

Hahah! Oh but the depressing ones are best :D

Becoming Jane I actually really really liked. I thought Anne Hathaway's accent was very good and definitely trained.

I do hope they are re-casting the Bronte film!

November for England :D Sorry!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's true. S&S is sad, but at least it has a happy ending!

I certainly hope you're right!

Yeah really. :-/

No fair! It'll probably be a whole year before we get to see it. :-( :-(
