Two P&P documentaries to be shown on British television
Thanks to Jennite of the Jennifer Ehle weblog, we have learned that the lucky Brits will get to see not one but two documentaries about Pride and Prejudice on Tuesday, September 13–no doubt in preparation for the big P&P3 film release.
Firstly, the one mentioned before, Pride and Prejudice Revisited on at 9.30pm, 11.05pm and 3.40am on BBC4. This one is about the impact of the book and focuses on a number of adaptations. NB: this is not to be confused with ANOTHER documentary called Pride and Prejudice Revisited, airing on ITV1 on Sunday 11th, which is a making-of feature about the new film.
Secondly, there is Drama Connections. This is the one reported a while ago, that’s specifically about the development of the 1995 mini-series. This is screening at 10.35pm on BBC1.
The P&P2 documentary will be aired in conjunction with a reairing of the series itself. Jennite has sorted the dates and times, all available at the link.
Check out the posting at the Jennifer Ehle weblog for quotations from the article about the making of P&P2–”find out what happened to that shirt.” Sounds like a can’t-miss proposition.
