  • Mr. Bennet, now you see? now you understand Elizabeth's point, of what will be the result of Lydia's unguarded manner? lol XD

  • What's mysterious to me is why Wickham had "business" which required him to hide away in an inn for several days. You'd think he'd just ravish Lydia and book it, but no, he spends most his time writing and drinking.

    As for Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Bennet: I wonder what exactly Mrs. B puts in her smelling salts, because those two must be sniffing something in order to create such huge memory loss and d-e-l-u-s-i-o-n-s.

  • @Sirena101 It's clear in the book. Mostly he was in London to hide from his creditors; he had a lot of gambling debts in the regiment. He never intended to marry Lydia, but as she pretty much foisted herself on him he wasn't the kind of guy to turn her away.

  • @lytrigian Whoops, I think I skipped that chapter. So what are all the letters for? Something to do with his debts?

  • @Sirena101 They had to give him *something* to do in this scene, didn't they? Likely, though, he'd be looking for another situation and writing to people who he thought would help him. Not even Wickham would have burned all his bridges behind him: in this case he'd already had some help from Mrs Younge.

  • 2:59-3:07....tooo funny..absolutely love alison steadman as mrs. bennet......and colin firth was probably Mr Darcy in his past life!

  • shows some greatness of mind..whose mind Mr Bennett's or his daughter?

  • I actually like Mrs. Bennet in a comical way. I mean she is sooo stupid she doesn't know anything which she cannot help if she was born that way...... so I like her stupidness, I guess.

  • mrs bennet and her sister remind me of the two geese from The Aristocrats...they never shut up.

  • I love Alison Steadman as Mrs. Benette. She makes you want to strangle her as delivers each line with the character's overeaction, lack of subtlely and lack of congnition . Great acting !

  • Wickham at 2:16 XD a guy never was more in need of a drink

  • "I have to say sister that I always distrusted his appearence of goodness!"

    "Aye sister, so did I and warned the girls."

  • @Kidrylmwriter i know, she no more told them than i did, and i wasn't even born by the time this movie was created

  • "OH SISTER!" *faints*

  • I dislike the mother...

  • Here comes another chatterbox/gossip chicken. Mrs. Bennett u are to be blamed! You should have kept more reign on your daughter. First of all you should not have let your daugher flaunting off to Brighton on her own. It doesn't matter if the man has money or not.

  • @JambiniMama

    But neither Mr or Mrs Bennett were to blame! It was normal for girls to be taken into society by friends of the family. With Her father's permission, Lydia was in the care of the colonel & his wife, a sensible person of breeding, & good standing in society, & although the colonel reported that he thought Lydia liked Whickam , there was no indication of anything more between them, & they were as shocked as everyone else. Hardly surprising if they were intending to elope

  • What does Mrs. Philips mean when she says 'In which more things were broken beyond repair than heads and furniture'? What else was broken? It sounds so significant.

  • @cricketsong4045 hearts, darling, hearts

  • @ClierieClarie144 Aaaaaaaaaaahh. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

  • @cricketsong4045 You got the PG explanation, for hearts can mend in time. Wickham would not be sated with simple seductions. He needed to deflower a few virgins while in Meryton. As Mary said,"that loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable -- that one false step involves her in endless ruin.." And it was said of Wickham, "He was declared to be in debt to every tradesman in the place, and his intrigues, all honoured with the title of seduction, had been extended into every tradesman's family."

  • "I have to say, Sister, that I always distrusted his appearance of goodness."

    "Aye, Sister, so did I, and warned the girls."

    We know Mrs. Bennet, we know that you NEVER liked him.

  • I was at work watching this. and this is so addictive.

    Mr darcy is indeed what a man should be.... :)

  • Poor kitty. She has to bear the brunt of all her sisters idiocy. It's not her fault.]=

  • LOL. Mr. Bennet is awesome.

  • 3:02 LOL! I laughed so hard at this!!!! Mrs Bennet is such a drama queen!!!

  • "aye, sister, so did I, and all the girls!" hahahahaha I always laugh at this point Mrs Bennet is such a comic relief

  • i read the book but i am confused on what part- what did wickham take lydia if she had nothing to offer?

  • @everyoneisweird He's a sleazy womanizer.

  • @everyoneisweird plus I think it's in part also as revenge against Elizabeth for finding out his true character from Mr Darcy and hinting that she likes Darcy better now against Wickham's words of how horrible Darcy treated him.

  • @everyoneisweird Well, when a pretty girl throws herself at you . . . and you aren't the kind of guy to throw her back . . .

  • Lydia is just like her mother.

  • Call me immature, but I giggled at the "balls will be absolutely prohibited" part.

  • @missstripedsocks very naughty of you. I have watched this so many times, and now something else to enjoy.

  • @missstripedsocks

    I wouldn't call that 'immaturity'. I would call that.. awareness of a double-entendre.

  • @missstripedsocks I was dying at that part xD

  • Darcy is a hero!

  • Omg! Mr.Darcys super intense face when that lady opens the door!! *squeelz*

  • Gawsh!! i wonder if i'm the only one fighting the urge to slap Mrs Bennet.

  • He is a player !!! well played

  • Wickham is such an asshole!!! Sorry, but someone had to say that ,if not Lizzie nor Darcy!..

  • Wickham is already bored with his new bride. XP Silly, silly people!

  • @Rosebloom12 Lydia has the brains of a canary!

  • Now he wants to be parent instead of a spoiler. I also like liked how Elizabeth did not rub it it by saying I told you so and I like how he admitted that he was wrong. He learned.

  • i think if lydia had not disgraced herself and had been able to continue to grow with her family she would have definitely matured and probably even become a lady...but all chances of that are killed once she marries wickham, it just pretty much sets her in her childish ways for the rest of her life to be married so young and in such a way that no one wants to deal with her

  • 4:08 could be captioned "Don't mess with a man in love...or with the family of his beloved..."

    This is Darcy's greatest moment, I think.

  • 2:58 repeated. Oh, the sounds that Mrs. Bennet makes. Great casting

  • even wickham is annoyed and fed up with lydia's manners right now xD (what i cam fully understand) ... he cannot be blamed better for his past than with a marriage to that girl!

  • @MyDreamLivesInMe i reckon this is the perfect punishment...now he has to put up with her for the rest of his rotten life =P

  • @Starlightslover yes i think i remember that even in the end of the book it was mentioned that they soon became quite unhappy with each other- shit happens :D

  • and to think they are all worried about lydia's vag.

  • Wickham's basically a pedophile, in modern terms

  • @Indzzgracey No, not true. Lydia was out and fair game for any man. If you must blame someone it should be her parents.

  • @rasta13820 Fair game? This isn't today where casual sex isn't necessarily a taboo. That family had made it clear to the children of the truth, and you can't force a child to do what you tell them.

    That girl was just stupid. Her purpose at Longbourne was not to get married. She made her own grave, not her parents, so I have to disagree.

  • @Coganboy Lydia was regarded by her society as eligible for marriage. Having casual sex with Wickham outside of marriage was wrong for both of them and could have ruined the reputation of her family. Wickham's action was despicable but don't call him a pedophile if society views her as nubile. That's hypocrisy-the true fault was her parents who thought she was mature enough to be 'out' and be on her own away from their supervision. They were the ones that encouraged and provided permission to go

  • @rasta13820 I'm not condemning him as a pedophile. I'm condemning him as a "player" who uses women as sex instruments to get what he wants. Now he'll have to pay by staying with one woman for life. I hope the sex was good, because it's all he's getting.

    The parents did make a mistake, but to blame that girl's stupidity on them is not the way to go.

  • @Coganboy Don't worry about Wickham, he'll get plenty. My initial remarks were to Indzzgracey, who did use the term 'pedophile'. As to the assignment of blame both views are in the story-Mr Collins holds your argument while Lizzy has expressed mine: “Her father, contented with laughing at them, would never exert himself to restrain the wild giddiness of his youngest daughters; and her mother, with manners so far from right herself, was entirely insensible of the evil." (con't)

  • @Coganboy "But she had never felt so strongly as now the disadvantages which must attend the children of so unsuitable a marriage, nor ever been so fully aware of the evils arising from so ill-judged a direction of talents; talents which rightly used, might at least have preserved the respectability of his daughters, even if incapable of enlarging the mind of his wife.”

    "The mischief of neglect and mistaken indulgence towards such a girl. -- Oh! how acutely did she now feel it.”

  • Strictlyjess same my grama is like an exact copy of mrs bennet

  • Mrs bennett reminds me of a big baby. Literally. She moans and cries and even has a bonnet that makes her look childish! She makes u wanna slap her and say " shutchyo mouth foo!" xD

  • like aunt phillips and the mom ever did not trust wickham. they loved him from the very beginning. pssh such hippocrits

  • ...lends such an ellegance to our misfortune...

  • at 2:25 wickham is thinking "oh god what have i done" lol. i believe having lydia for a wife is punishment enough.

  • @gruponichemile yup, his face is like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU

  • i would slap this mother in the face and say, wake up !

  • 2:53-2:06

  • I do believe Colin Firth was simply born to play the role of Mr. Darcy and no one else could give a better performance. I absolutely adore the entire cast!

  • did he just say 'balls will be absolutely prohibited' ??

  • @miruhanisha he symbolizes the perfect father!!!!

  • I feel sorry for Kitty.....

  • mary is sort of grounded because of what lydia did : )

  • Every girl commenting or watching this video knows that we all want to do Mr. Darcy. ;)

  • @laMenor276 ... and every such girl would never deserve nor would ever have a chance with him.

  • My god, Mrs Bennett is exactly like my granny... Looks like her too.

  • @StrictlyJess

    I think you're about to be written out of her will ;-)

  • Wickham = keep the alcohol coming!

  • Mrs Bennet from this production is so much better than the one in the 2006 film.

  • 3:33-4:14 is my favourite part of the whole tv series! especially the look on darcy's face @ 4:08

  • @Llam4Face umm...its not that great?

  • Mrs Bennet looks like Syd from Ice Age in this episode...

  • ha, poor Wickham, he'll suffer Lydia's company!

    I loved Darcy's evil stare to Mrs. Younge

  • @ginny4e Don't feel too sorry for him, he's not exactly a nice guy!

  • @mrstilney haha I know... but Lydia is a pretty bad "prize"

  • @ginny4e True, they'll torment each other!

  • HAHAHA the smelling salts ahhahahaha

  • wickham truly seems frustrated with lydia at 2:21.

  • Wickham seems to be kind of annoyed by Lydia already. :D

  • Oh Wickham, you have eloped with the silliest girl in all of England.

  • @ jennted I know....but alas they are both Fitzwilliam..Darcy I know is his first name! but the Colonel I have no idea!! I do not recall if it is his first name o LAST!

    fitzwilliam is both used as first names and it is a known last name! Usually they used Fitz for a kings bastard children around 500 years back!

  • @flormat30 I think that the colonel's name is Richard....I'm not entirely sure though, but that's a guess.

  • Darcy is the last name! I think his first is Fitzwilliam! I read the book

  • @flormat30 Its confusing that his name should be Fitzwilliam and his cousin is Colonel Fitzwilliam.  Ah well. Its not my book.

  • @flormat30 You are right He is Fitzwilliam Darcy. His Cousin's surname is Fitzwilliam, & as it often was, a maiden name was handed down as a Christian name, and as such a woman could keep her maiden name in her OWN offspring. It must have been that Colonel Fitzwilliam's father and Darcy's mother were brother and sister, and so to keep Darcy's mother's maiden name in HER family, she named her son Fitzwilliam. Darcy being his fathers name of course. Are you suitably confused?

  • lolol, I'm glad they kept the part where Mr. Bennet is teasing Kitty about not being able to leave the house ever again. That's my favorite part with him from the book. ^_^

  • I think smelly socks would wake Mrs Bennet more surely but it would not be so elegant :-). When one hears her would wish her better the socks :-)

  • Mr Darcy is a generous man..

  • theres such an elegance to our misfortune LOL true.

  • the way Darcy says mrs young... a voice dripping with distain!

  • actually Lydia an dwickham deserve eachi am sure they made each other miserable ever after..

  • Balls are strictly prohiboted lol

  • 3:48 Scary mysterious music again! :D

  • I must admit, I'm really impressed with the actress who plays Lydia.

  • julia sawahla, she also played hornblower's wife in hornblower

  • Waiiit, waaiiitttttt, what? Mr.Bennet was joking at the end there?

    Holy hell. If that was my father, he wouldn't be. I guess the crying from Kitty made me believe it.

    Did anyone else think the crying was pretty bad acting? );

  • "But who will fight Wickham and make him marry her?"

    Hilarious, since not to long ago she was pleading for anything but a fight.

  • "Let me feel how much I have been to blame... the impression will pass away soon."

    One of the greatest lines, with the one at the end "we live to make sport of our neighbors and let them make sport of us in turn."

  • did mrs. bennet say, "oh fetch my smelly socks!" because that's what it sounded like.

  • She said: "Fetch my smelling salts." :-)

  • smelling salts...but yes, it did sound like she said "smelly socks"! LOL

  • @goldberry116 It did sound to me like "smelly socks" or "smelling socks". But what are smelling salts?

  • @mrskinoti Smelling salts are used to wake people when they've passed out. Google is your friend. c:

  • @dinovampire Oh, thank you. I will google for the details :)

  • @dinovampire Thanks for replying to mrskinoti. I've been out of town and couldn't get to a computer. Yes, google is everyone's friend. I didn't really know what smelling salts were either.

  • "Tales of gaming debts, drunken ruts, debauches, intrigues, seductions and hardly a tradesman in the town whos daughters were not meddled with."

    "Oh, sister stop."

    Priceless scene. LOOL!"

  • Actor of Mr. Bennet is amazing.

    Especially that last scene where he saw that Kitty couldn't figure out that he was joking, he gave that disappointed look, masterful!

  • Haha, I love the face Mrs.Phillips has after Mrs.Bennet says "we are ALL ruined!!"

  • I might shoot Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennett if I had the 'pleasure' of knowing them in real life, but dangit, they're great for comedic effect XD "OH, MR. BENNET! My poor nerves!"

  • I just love the way Wickham looks after spending some time alone in Lydias company:-) she's so stupid and you can almost see how he wants to scream at her and give her back to her father as quickly as possible :-D

  • Serves him right!!!

  • their lucky to have jane and lizzie, they're the only ones who tie the whole family together.

  • ha ha :D yea<- i feel the same way about jane resembling some classical figure in a painting or maybe some Greek statue :D

  • the ancient Greek look was in fashion at that time for the ladies

  • Comment removed

  • I used to think Darcy was a girlie name. Now I can't think of a manlier, sexier name

  • I'm with you, you are so right

  • @oldgregg222 like darcy from winx club : the trix my little sister watches it!

    and one day i was like : Mr. Darcy!

  • Darcy can be so scary at times!! And still incredibly sexy!!

  • I. Hate. Mrs. Bennet.

  • Oh, come on! Not everybody can be high and honorable and intelligent and good and sensible and reasonable and serious and......The thing would be ghastly boring otherwise. :D

  • Darcy: *tap tap tap*

    *door opens*

    Mrs.Younge:*gasp*

    Darcy:*evil stare*

    I love Darcy!!!

  • @SandstormTheKind  He is pretty awesome eh?

  • Comment removed

  • I love Mr. Darcy!

  • Mrs. Bennet is an idiot. -.-

    Mr. Darcy is incredibly handsome and awesome. Heh Lizzy is so lucky. ;P

  • Thanks to Lizzie Darcy changed his ways though...;)

  • hahaha! the thing with the smelly sault is so funny.

  • darcy is fierce.

  • haha Mr Wickham, I think his marraige to Lydia is more of a punishment.

    and the mother, so ANNOYING. just want to smack her.

  • i dont think jane is pretty .. shes very ugly .. in 2005 movie.. jane looks wayy better

  • @amira4ever1 I think Jane's gorgeous! A gentle type of pretty.

  • I thought so too in the beginning of the series, but i read somewhere that jane was supposed to have been based off of a greek beauty. And if that is so she does resemble the greek statues of aphrodite; and somehow she grew on me, and now i think she is quite pretty.

  • @aoisiren: I saw this too - I tried to see how people of that time period (and of course now, I suppose) would find her really attractive - I guess in comparison to Elizabeth - and I noticed she had this gentler, Greek-like beauty.

    Totally couldn't have said it better. :D

  • OMGsh! yes!

    I always thought she looked like a greek statue!

  • @ amira4ever1 if you had not bothered to look, this Jane is gorgeous. She has a very unique, natural beauty.

  • I can't believe that lydia has no sense of etiquette for the time period. what a pain in the ass.

  • When Darcy sees Mrs. Younge I swear he looks as though he is going to assault her.

  • Don't know who to pity more...Lydia, or Mr. Wickham XD Though I despise his character, I feel it's quite ironic and yet satisfying that he should end up with her haha XD

    Watch him drink himself to a drunken stupor due his choosing the wrong person to seduce haha XD In the end, justice is served~

    ahhh i love this P&P rendition <3

  • I wish I could run my fingers through Wickham's purdeh hair...Haha. And the look on his face is like "Oh DO shut up." Lol.

    Mr. Darcy=SECRET AGENT MAN

  • For someone who is about to faint, Mrs Bennet seems surprisingly energetic.

  • This is a bit inaccurate, isn't it? I like that the longer version allows for a wider interpretation, but Mr. Bennet did no such thing to his daughters in the book. He had a thorough understanding of each of their natures.

  • the tart and the twat. lydia and wickham deserve one another! good thing mr bennet is adamant on their marriage.

  • Does anybody find it strange that Mrs. Bennet and her sister-in-law are so distraught with wickham's behavior however the moment he is found he should be forced to marry lydia?! I Know she is a spoiled young lady but is she so undiserving as to deserve the "horrible" Mr. Wickham? strange that is the only thing that has ever puzzeled me about Austen.

  • They want Mr. Wickham to marry Lydia because that is the only way to save her reputation.

  • When Mrs.Bennett sniffs her smelling salts at 3:04 I nearly died laughing. She is the epitome of drama.

  • 6:04 "lends such an elegance to our misfourtune." Love it

  • Do you know youtube comments sect; can have some most obscene remarks. Yet for this drama there is so much elegance too, in the manner, viewers express themselves. It is so refreshing. Thank you so much for uploading the superb production. GBU

  • Bro yahya!!!

  • Darcy just keeps getting better and better! I didn't like him at first, but now he is one of my favorite characters!

  • Anas loves Germany

  • The Foul Fiend!

  • Mr. Bennet is hilarious! I love that guy.

  • 6:59 - 7:12 made me burst out loud with laughter.

  • I love the look Wickam has at 2:23, like "omg, what did I do this, why the siiliest creature that was to be born, WHY ME ????" And Im like laughing so hard, like, man, u kinda deserve it....

  • Bravo! Finally Mr Bennett raises his voice. I'm gonna raise my glass to that. High time.

    But poor Kitty has to bear the brunt of it.
