I don't know why we hadn't watched it since it was first on - watching P.D. James's Dalgliesh reminded me. A ballsy thing, to write a sequel to 'Pride and Prejudice', let alone make it one of her beloved murder mysteries.
First things first - one of the other daughters is married, making it four in all, but we don't find out which one - think I might have to read the novel. This is a three hour adaptation - by Juliet Towhidi - for the BBC.
With Anna Maxwell Martin, Matthew Rhys, Matthew Goode, Jenna Coleman (who must get tired of always looking up to people), Trevor Eve, James Fleet, Joanna Scanlan, Tom Ward, Rebecca Front, Eleanor Tomlinson (pre-Poldark) , James Norton, Nichola Burley, Philip Martin Brown, Jennifer Hennessy, Kevin Eldon.
Music by The Insects, photographed by Steve Lawes, edited by David Thrasher, production design Grant Montgomery. Filmed at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, which was also used as Pemberley in Pride & Prejudice! (And Barry Lyndon, The Duchess, Lady Caroline Lamb, Peaky Blinders).
It's hugely successful, brilliantly written.
