Livin’ La Vida Austen
No television, no telephones, no Internet, but one hopes they won’t go so far as to preclude, say, penicillin. From the Detroit Free Press, on the autumn PBS lineup:
Say what? Get ready for “Regency House Party,” a supposedly classy PBS alternative to all those cheesy reality love and relationship shows. Ten men and women will live in a 200-year-old grand English country house and live by the social and dating customs of Jane Austen’s world. Oh dear, dear, dear.
