Make that S&S2008
Alert Janeite Franka found a link at the BBC website that lists the new Sense and Sensibility series as being broadcast on the BBC in 2008. We know it will be broadcast first in the U.S. in 2008 as well on Masterpiece Theatre. These sort of things make our year-numbering system a little wonky at times, but we submit it’s still easier than trying to explain why the Garson/Olivier P&P isn’t P&P1 or why the Ehle/Firth P&P is P&P2 to someone who doesn’t know the 1980 series exists.
Dorothy has ceremoniously changed the name of the category, so make sure if you’ve linked to the category anywhere that you update the link, as it is part of the title.

Will P&P also be shown as part of the Jane Austen season on Masterpiece Theatre?

I’m not from the US, so am not a 100% sure, but yes I think P&P1995 will be shown on Masterpiece Theatre as well. If I remember correctly the channel will be showing adaptations of the 6 Jane Austen books, including all the new adaptations (MP, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey and S&S2008).

Oh, by the way, I was reading my TV Guide (here in the UK) yesterday, and it had a small article on Miss Austen Regrets. At the end of it it stated that S&S would be shown here at the end of the year.
