Yes, it's pretty funny. She goes up there one day and there's Elizabeth Bennet standing in her bathtub!

I think JA would probably be amused and perhaps even surprised at the popularity at nearly 200 years later.

I'm watching episode two now and I think one thing that stands out to me is how well-cast it is. Did you ever watch ER? Mrs. Bennet is played by Dr. Corday from that show, and I've never seen her in anything but ER, but she plays the role very well. Jane and Mary also just absolutely fit their roles well too, though Lydia and Kitty are, well they don't stand out (which means they're not bad). Mr. Darcy is actually pretty good-looking, and I think he fits quite well too!
