More information on the P&P2 documentary and P&P3 world premiere
Paul, the editor of KeiraWeb.com, sent us some information about the documentary on the 1995 PRIDE AND PREJUDICE television miniseries, about which we posted yesterday. He spoke with the producer, Toby Stevens, who also produced the Comedy Connections documentary. The P&P documentary will follow a similar format, showing “the early careers of the cast and major crew (director/producer etc.) and how they came together for the production, what they’ve been up to since and lots of interviews and on-the-set footage,” Paul wrote. We can hear the fangirls swooning already.
Mr. Stevens did not mention a broadcast date, but Paul speculates that it will be shown in mid-September to correspond with the premiere of P&P3. We hope that the documentary will make it to AustenBlog World Headquarters’ side of the pond eventually. Of course, one never knows what rogue satellite transmissions might make their way across the Atlantic, does one? 
Paul also mentioned that there is a rumor about that the world/European premiere of P&P3 “may take place at the Venice Film Festival which runs August 31st to September 10th. Working Title have a habit of placing world premieres for their movies at film festivals. Love Actually debuted at Toronto, for example.”
Thanks so much for the information, Paul! (And you Keira fans should definitely check out KeiraWeb.com.)

Kathleen, according to the Jane Austen Festival Web site, the festival doesn’t begin until September 17, which is the day after the film opens in the U.K. Did they move up the date?

I want to purchase P&P BBC series DVD. Can you tell me the difference of the 2000 issue one and the one out this year 10th Ann. 2005. I see no difference in the specials. Is that true.
