ITV’s budget cuts do not include Austen (we think)

It’s kind of hard to tell from this article, but it seems that ITV is cutting back on some kinds of drama to permit “high-quality” productions such as the “Jane Austen Season.”

Elliott added that the move to scale back the more expensive single and two-part dramas would free up money to be spent on high quality productions and pointed to the forthcoming Jane Austen season and the much-awaited return of Jimmy McGovern’s Cracker.

Yes, but see where saving money gets you?

While we’re waiting ever-so-patiently *cough* for news about NA2, we recommend a trip to Heather L.’s Jane Austen resource site, Solitary Elegance, newly located at its own URL. The site includes an exhaustive review of various radio, stage, and film adaptations and a nearly-complete set of the C.E. Brock watercolors. The latest addition is a transcript of NA1 and a list of press releases related to the filming of NA2. Check it out!
