Pride and Prejudice

Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters attempt to navigate the world of love and high society in an age where class and money matter.

Pride and Prejudice is a six-episode 1995 British television drama, adapted by Andrew Davies from Jane Austen's 1813 novel of the same name. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth starred as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. Produced by Sue Birtwistle and directed by Simon Langton, the serial was a BBC production with additional funding from the American A&E Network. BBC One originally broadcast the 55-minute episodes from 24 September to 29 October in 1995. The A&E Network aired the serial in double episodes on three consecutive nights beginning 14 January 1996.
Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Pride and Prejudice was honoured with several awards, including a BAFTA Television Award for Jennifer Ehle for "Best Actress" and an Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costume Design for a Miniseries or a Special". The role of Mr Darcy elevated Colin Firth to stardom. A scene showing Firth in a wet shirt was recognised as "one of the most unforgettable moments in British TV history". The New York Times called the adaptation "a witty mix of love stories and social conniving, cleverly wrapped in the ambitions and illusions of a provincial gentry".

Pride and Prejudice, a timeless classic adapted from Jane Austen's renowned novel, unravels the intricate nuances of social hierarchy in 19th-century England. The show masterfully weaves a tale of love, marriage, and societal expectations, as it follows the lives of the five Bennet sisters. Elizabeth Bennet (Jennifer Ehle) takes center stage, capturing hearts with her wit and intelligence, as she navigates the complexities of her relationship with the enigmatic Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth). This period drama has received critical acclaim, earning several awards and nominations, including a BAFTA for Best Drama Serial. With its memorable performances and authentic portrayal of the era, Pride and Prejudice remains a cherished piece of television history.

Classy TV Shows We Put On When We Want To Feel Like British Aristocrats, Ranked

Lists about the Jane Austen works that have bewitched us, body and soul, and we love we love we love them.

Pride and Sensibility

Jane Austen

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen did not own a television when she wrote Pride &amp; Prejudice. Despite this setback, Austen's body of work has inspired millions of writers, characters, troupes, and TV couples to grace the small screen. Without Britain's most famous writer, we wouldn't have shows like New Girl, Friends, and even Sex and the City.&nbsp;With this list, we literally asked ourselves “Would Jane Austen watch that?” Would she like the will they/won't they romance of Sam and Diane on Cheers? What about the themes of classism and mystery in Veronica Mars a la Northanger Abbey? Maybe she would find solace from modern life in period dramas like Bridgerton or the female friendships in shows like Golden Girls or Tuca &amp; Birdie.If you too are feeling like you want an Austen-like story without watching a straight retelling or adaption, this list has all your desired qualifications. And if you are feeling like enjoying some of her actual work, we've included a few of our favorite adaptations too.&nbsp;

Mood (Aspect)

TV Shows Jane Austen Would Watch

Cortland Jacoby

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen novels must be adapted into Jane Austen TV shows. Over the course of film and television history, her work has been transferred to the screen over 50 times. Always romantic, an Austen adaptation combines comedy and high end drama to comment on society, class, and gender dynamics.&nbsp;Many TV shows of Austen's work are more faithful period reproductions of Jane Austen books, like the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice, or Sense and Sensibility from 1981. Some Austen period dramas do bring in modern sensibilities, like the often salacious 2008 Sense and Sensibility. The web series on this list are &nbsp;incredibly fresh in both their format and interpretation of these classic books.Which Austen adaptation do you watch on repeat?

Movies have always looked to books and literature for inspiration. In fact, some of the best movies ever made are adaptations of popular novels, including many of the classics from William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/authors-who-loved-movie-adaptations-of-their-books/jim-rowley">and other notable writers</a>. It is not uncommon for a profound work to receive multiple adaptations and remakes. There's a multitude of ways these stories can be approached from a fresh angle to fit with contemporary moods.The downside to that is a percentage of the adaptations get overshadowed by others that come from the same source material. The following movies all exist because someone had the idea to bring <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-based-on-books">a work of literary genius</a> to the screen.

Underrated Adaptations That Were Less Successful Than The Version You Remember

15 Underrated Movie Adaptations That Weren't As Successful

Mike McGranaghan

BBC One

Step back in time to the elegant and complex world of Upstairs, Downstairs, a beloved British drama that masterfully portrays the lives of both aristocrats and their servants in early 20th-century London. This iconic series captivated audiences with its rich storytelling, intricate character dynamics, and historical authenticity. For those who have been enchanted by this classic show, there are numerous other series that offer similar themes of class distinction, historical intrigue, and compelling narratives.For instance, Downton Abbey is a natural successor to Upstairs, Downstairs, offering an equally captivating glimpse into the lives of the Crawley family and their household staff during a transformative period in British history. Another excellent choice is The Crown, which delves into the reign of Queen Elizabeth II while exploring both her public duties and private struggles. Both shows provide viewers with an immersive experience into different facets of British society.To make it easier for fans to find these new favorites, each recommendation includes handy "Where to Watch" buttons for popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Max (formerly HBO Max), Apple TV+, Paramount+, and more.

The 20 Best Shows Like 'Upstairs, Downstairs', Ranked By Fans

Molly Gander

Let's be real - nobody brings classic books to life quite like PBS Masterpiece. They've been turning beloved stories into must-watch TV since the 70s, and they just keep getting better at it. Whether you're swooning over Mr. Darcy emerging from that lake in Pride and Prejudice (yes, that scene) or getting caught up in the royal drama of Wolf Hall, these shows know how to keep you glued to your screen.What makes these shows so special? It's not just the gorgeous costumes and stunning English countryside (though we're here for that too). It's how they take stories that might seem dusty and old-fashioned and make them feel fresh and relevant. Take Les Misérables - it might have been written almost 200 years ago, but this version hits different, bringing all the passion, heartbreak, and drama that made the book a classic in the first place.These aren't your grandmother's period dramas. They've launched careers (hello, Claire Foy before The Crown), won tons of awards, and given us some seriously unforgettable TV moments. The best part? They stay true to the books while making sure even viewers who dozed through English class can get hooked on the story.
