Series Description:
The Pride and Prejudice miniseries is 4 1/2 hours long and based on Jane Austin's 1813 classic novel about the strong prejudice that existed between the different social classes during the early 19th century. Elizabeth Bennet refuses to have anything to do with Mr. Darcy, a wealthy upper class single man, after he insults her at a dance. This entices Darby and he begins to persue Elizabeth but, despite her mother's urging her to "marry well", she continues to spurn him. Will he see the error of his ways? Will Elizabeth give him a chance? The acting, costumes, locations and music in the Pride and Prejudice are all absolutely wonderful!

Miniseries Trivia:
Not everyone ended out with the same Pride and Prejudice part for which they originally auditioned. Crispin Bonham-Carter (Mr. Bingley) first tried-out for the part of George Wickham. Lucy Davis (Maria Lucas) first auditioned for the part of Lydia Bennet.
Immediately after Mr. Darcy proposes marriage to Elizabeth, he walks up two flights of stairs. Then he looks out of a window which is on the first floor. OOPS!
Colin Firth spent his early childhood in Nigeria. This was due to the fact that three of his grandparents were Methodist missionaries.
The Pride and Prejudice's Pemberly Estate was totally fictional. The interiors were shot at Sudbury House and the exteriors at Lyme Park.
Joanna David (Mrs. Gardiner) and Emilia Fox (Georgianna Darcy) are real life mother and daughter.
Susannah Harker who plays Jane Bennet, is the daughter of Polly Adams who played the same part in the BBC's 1967 version of the Pride and Prejudice.
Susannah Harker was pregnant while Pride and Prejudice was being filmed. You probably didn't notice though as her costumes were made especially loose and she generally wore a shawl.
