Now this is what we call a “Special Edition”

Alert Janeite Maria B. wrote to tell us about a special 10th anniversary edition of the 1995 PRIDE AND PREJUDICE miniseries (P&P2) that will be released in September 2006. There was an anniversary edition released a while back, but this seems to include some actual new things. From the listing on Amazon:

DVD Features:

  • Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo)
  • 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Collector’s Set
  • Gold embossed green fabric slipcase
  • Newly remastered widescreen print

Bonus Disc Features:

  • Jane Austen BIOGRAPHY episode
  • An exclusive new retrospective documentary about the making of the classic series
  • A 120 page deluxe companion book The Making Of Pride and Prejudice
  • Interviews with cast and crew

We know there are some who will be very happy with the remastered DVD. :-) And we assume that the documentary is the one that was broadcast on British TV last year and that the Making of P&P book is the one that everyone probably has already. :-)

And may we add, as an editorial aside, that it’s about sodding time that this series has received this treatment?
