  • love you, mr. Davies!!!!

  • ohhhoho yes

  • Andrew Davies can do NO WRONG!!!!!! 'Pride & Prejudice', 'Little Dorrit' are MASTERPIECES!!!!!

  • I cannot wait!

  • I started reading Jane Austen when I was eleven/twelve, actually because I saw Jane Eyre on TV and asked my mother if she could buy the book, but she couldn't find it so she bought me Pride and Prejudice in swedish. And I loved it so much and started reading her books in english, I have Austen to thank for my good english. Never learned a thing from my english teachers :) I eventually found Jane Eyre, and loved it, too.

  • i just think jane austen was a wonderful writer and im so happy that Andrew Davies didn't even bother to modernize it because thats what makes it so unique. all the jane austen movies are awesome

  • At first: sorry if my English is bad but I`m German...;o)

    I really adore Jane Austen-films and I read some of her books (unfortunatly not in English), too.

    Last friday the 2007-version of Sense and Sensibility were shown and I fell in love with that film. I love Jane Austen!!!

  • His adaptations of Jane Austen novels made me start reading them and now I absolutely LOVE them. Sense and Sensibility is my favorite of all his movies, I adore them all.

  • Join the club!! I saw these movies on PBS, and Andrew Davies did a brilliant job!!

  • I LIKE JANE AUSTENS' EMMA (Kate Beckinsale) MAKE FILM @V@

  • Invent scenes!!! Why would you ruin Austen's witty use of the English language? Trim the dialogue down! Jane Austen's dialogue makes her novels wonderful.

    A girlfriend recommended this new adaptation movie of Jane Austen's books, but I truly enjoyed the original movies; they stay true to Austen's novels. Jane Austen's novels remain some of the most beloved books because of their wit and charm. Don't change a good thing when you see it.

  • I haven't seen all Jane Austen movies but I can't wait to the others!!!

  • I can't say I really like him. Something wrong about him... Although I'm a big fan of his P&P.

  • Just one of the reasons why I do "pledge"

  • Not only inspired me to increase my pledge, but to become a volunteer.

  • "I always say 'when in doubt, copy it out!'"

    I wish more people adapted novels this way, as it makes the most sense. Thank you Andrew Davies, for sticking to the Austen spirit!

  • Yes, and why ruin Jane Austen's beautiful language. I'm so glad Andrew Davies didn't try to modernize the language. This would've ruined it for sure!

  • Why don't they mention Persuasion or Mansfield Park?

  • because they are not adapted by Andrew Davies.

  • i've seen all but sense & sensibility so far. looks promising. northanger abbey is an absolute gem, and of course we all know p&p and emma by now. hope s&s lives up to expectations.

  • me too! i did really enjoy the new persuasion though:) i thought they did northanger wonderfully!
