According to Waveguide, BBC Four will rebroadcast P&P2 in September, ten years after it was first broadcast, along with a documentary (probably a rebroadcast of the tenth anniversary P&P2 documentary).
Thanks to Paul from KeiraWeb.com for the link.
KeiraWeb.com has scans of two new articles featuring P&P3, with lots of pictures. In the article from Film Now, Miss Knightley compares and contrasts the experience of filming P&P with filming DOMINO. We very much liked the photo of Lizzy with her hair down and wrapped in a pretty shawl; that’s more how we think Lizzy Bennet should look! (We were also much amused at the photos of Miss Knightley as Domino wearing a leather motorcycle jacket, ripped jeans and a negligently draped scarf, as we had a similar outfit back in the 1990s. That was a way cool outfit.)
In the Empire article, director Joe Wright talks about how he set out to “reinvent the costume drama.” We were not aware it required such, but there you go. The last page includes a review of the film; looks like no smooching. (Shouldn’t Mr. Collins be contemptible?)
Also, the Yorkshire Post has an article about the filming that took place at Chatsworth.
About a month ago, we posted about advice offered by “Ask Amy” in which a teenager fond of matchmaking and giving advice to her friends was advised to read Emma. It appears that we were not the only ones who noticed:
Dear Amy:
As president of The Jane Austen Society of North America, I compliment you on what Emma Woodhouse would call your “capital performance” in suggesting to the “Advice Goddess” that she read “Emma.”
Indeed, it is a truth universally acknowledged that despite being a spinster-writer from the 18th-century English countryside, Jane Austen knew a great deal about male/female relationships. Your writing, “Don’t even get me started on the horrifying prospect of 15-year-olds having sex,” reminds me that Jane Austen actually dealt in “Pride and Prejudice” with the problems of a 15-year-old having sex.
Not every 15-year-old has Mr. Darcy to ride to the rescue. This is why a good dose of Jane Austen or even Jane Austen “lite” (the films) is always good for you!

Jane Austen’s current popularity proves that her favorite theme — love (both familial and romantic) — is timeless.
