I am a huge P&P freak, having seen all the versions of the beloved book and this is without doubt the best one! Much is made of Colin Firth's Darcy and he is excellent, so excellent that poor Colin has never managed to escape him! But high praise must also go to Jennifer Ehle, my favourite ever Elizabeth. I know she has had a flouishing theatre career but I can't understand why we don't see more of her on the big or small screen. The entire supporting cast are all pitch perfect. special mention of course to Alison Steadman and Ben Whitrow as Mr and Mrs Bennett and Barbara Leigh-Hunt as Lady Catherine. Buy this and watch it again and again and again .......

What can I say except Excellent period drama, right down from the costumes through to the acting. I've seen the new film and this is by far the best version, yes its longer but some things you just can not shorten. Love it every time I watch it.
