I hope there is a sequel to this and that perhaps Mr. Andrews would have us embark on the adventures of the Bingleys in America, Lizzie’s new life in Hammersmith; and keep us abreast of all the other characters, like the Bennets and Collins, (I wonder if Charlotte Lucas returns?) and, of course the Darcys. I loved the chemistry between Jemima Rooper and Elliot Cowan and would hope if ever there is a sequel, we could see more of Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy in action, without Mr. Darcy losing some of his wonderful characteristics. I liked Darcy strong and haughty and he was quite passionate and firey at times! Good show, Mr. Cowan! I’m certainly going to follow his career! Outstanding! Jemima Rooper was extremely delightful and playful, but was no pushover, that’s for sure. Her timing and expressions were impeccable. She’s funny and serious at the same time. I just loved her. She has got a future, that one! I want to see more of her! I loved the relationship between Jane and Amanda; Wickham and Amanda; and on and on.

I’m a die-hard Bronte fan, and the 1980’s BBC adaptation from Jane Eyre, with Timothy Dalton, who played the role of Mr. Edward Rochester and Zelah Clarke’s role as Jane Eyre, well, no one, in my opinion, has topped that adaptation as of yet. Or let’s just say tampered with the storyline. Nonetheless, I’ve seen several adaptations, good as they were but couldn’t compare to that wonderful BBC series.

Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen was excellent and I didn’t think it could get any better, but Lost in Austen, proved me wrong. Of course, the story was pleasantly “tampered” with a bit, but what an ingenious take on the Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. Excellent storyline and I hope to see more! Hint to the writer! And if you do, if at all possible, use those same actors!) Whatever you do, Mr. Andrews, don’t separate those those Darcys. Their quarreling/bickering brings out the passion in the both of them! Bravo to all!

I did not know who this actor was but upon looking up info on him realize I have seen him in Foyle’s War and perhaps other places but his transformation into the Character of Darcy was just amazing to me. His early portrayal with just the right touch of arrogance followed by the quivering jaw in the heart break “I cannot marry you” scene and ending with that smile and kiss in the end all I can say is WOW! I am not one to get too carried away by an actor to the point of posting on places like this but there is a first time for everything and for me this is it! Elliot Cowan nailed every aspect of what I think Mr. Darcy should be and he certainly was the epitome of Tall, Dark and Handsome!
