Review of 10th Anniversary Edition of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
DVD Talk has a comprehensive review of the 10th Anniversary Edition of the BBC/A&E miniseries of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The set includes the miniseries of course, the book The Making of Pride and Prejudice, and some extras that sound like a lot of fun.
The most unique extra, though, is a 10-minute “Impromptu Walkabout with Adrian Lukis and Lucy Briers,” in which the two far-from-famous actors, who shared no screen time in “Pride and Prejudice,” return to one of the location houses to reminisce and generally joke around. The ready-for-work actors propose a sequel series to star themselves. “Wickham and Bennet,” Briers suggests as a title. “A modern-day cop series,” Lukis adds.
A couple hundred fanfic authors just scrambled for their word processors. 
One technical detail that we know some viewers were wondering about is addressed in the review.
As with the earlier DVD, the picture is occasionally a bit overexposed or bleachy (mainly in outdoor scenes), though this may have been an intentional effect, perhaps intended to convey a period far removed from our own.
We find that adjusting the color on the television works well to fix this situation.

Dang — I’m going to have to buy this thing yet again?! There’s no way I can pass up that third disc… It’s a major shame, though, that the documentary doesn’t include Colin Firth or Jennifer Ehle, and it’s also disappointing that they didn’t remaster the picture and add a commentary track. Still, they’ll get my $42, sigh.
