] ] I have the tapes of the old BBC S&S, which I'm calling S&S1 here. I can't believe I have never really watched the whole thing through yet, and it's been so long that I don't really even remember the beginning, only that the actress who plays Elinor also played Charlotte Lucas in P&P1.
] ] Is anyone interested in having a VV of these tapes to discuss on this board???
] Yes!! I just recently rewatched it and found quite a few things about it that were more satisfying than S&S2 (if that's what we're calling it) - would love to discuss it. And isn't this new board lovely!
Same for me! I also found much to like in the BBC version---for one, Lady Middleton is allowed to exist. Also, I thought the guy playing Sir John Middleton was very good--and more age appropriate than the S&S2 Sir John (though I thought him very good, too and he fit in well with the actress who played Mrs. Jennings, they made a very complimentary pair)
