Priceless Jane
Paul from KeiraWeb.com has given us a treasure! 
He captured the segment from the television programme “Flog It!” that was filmed at Chawton, showing some of the Austen memorabilia, including first editions of all the novels–both an uncut, unbound edition of S&S and all of Edward Austen Knight’s copies of the novels, bound for his library, much as Mr. Darcy would have done for the library at Pemberley. There is also a letter written by Jane, the table where she wrote, and other items. The host gets all the history spot-on, which is nearly unknown on these types of shows–we usually end up throwing at least one soft item at the telly when there’s something on about Jane.
The files are on the main page at KeiraWeb.com in two parts, or here are direct links:
Part One (4.5 Mb)
Part Two (6.5 Mb)
PLEASE REMEMBER TO RIGHT-CLICK AND DOWNLOAD THE FILES TO YOUR OWN COMPUTER! Even the gerbil on the wheel that powers the computer at AustenBlog World Headquarters had no objection to the downloads, and the time spent is worth it. The files will play in Windows Media Player, or Paul suggests downloading the VLC Player, which plays many different media types.
Many thanks to Paul for the lovely treat!

Wow, thanks Mags & Paul! As I said earlier, Flog It is a favorite show of mine and they sure did a lovely job of talking about our Jane.
Enjoyed it a lot.
