• Great twist on original storyline!
  This was a great show, one of the funniest, cleverest and best cast things of the last few years (the cast really is amazing!) I caught it first time round on TV and loved it so much I had to get the DVDs. I love period dramas and was unsure at the beginning whether I would enjoy a programme that had twisted the original story line (of one of my favourite books) but i was completely wrong as the twist made me sit on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It was amazing!
  

• The humourous creation of it
  I watched the first few series on ITV and couldn't wait for the rest of the episode. It was humorous and still told the P&P story except you can imagine yourself in the story. Fantastic stuff

• A enjoyable 21st Century spin on Pride and Prejudice but not a great DVD presentation...
  I orginally watched this when it was first shown on ITV1 and it had me hooked. While I didn't think it was amazing it's still a good piece of period drama with the twist of someone from our world thrown into the mix. I've never read Pride and Prejudice or any Austen novel, so I can't say how a hardcore fan reacted to this.
  Disc 1 - Episodes 1 & 2: We are introduced to Amanda's disillusioned life in London and then how she enters Austen's 'real' fictional world of Pride and Prejudice. Obviously,... more info

• Fantastic feel good factor
  I bought this after watching the ITV showing with my other half. He even enjoyed following the twists to this story. Whilst Colin Firth still is the ultimate Darcy all the characters were really well portraited.
  I would recommend this to anyone, it doesn't ruin the story and moves at a respectable pace. A lovely feel good factor in this gloomy time, good to see something light hearted and well acted.
