I’M A sucker for a period drama, and if Jane Austen is involved then I’m absolutely hooked.
It’s the writing principally, but the wonderful settings and evocation of a long- gone British society help, too. Don’t get me started on the corsets! This stunning nine-disc box set comprises six of the BBC’s most acclaimed and popular adaptations of Austen’s work.
Of course, Pride And Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth is here, though we’ve all got that already, but you can also enjoy some much-needed escapism in Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. It’s the type of stuff you don’t mind paying a licence fee for.
