The Other Bennet Sister (2026)

Based on a novel by Janice Hadlow, adapted mainly by Sarah Quintrell (and Maddie Dai), directed by Jennifer Sheridan and Asim Abbasi. Am I enjoying 10 x 30 for BBC? I'm not sure really. I find Ella Broccoli too dithery, says 'er' too much. Her name's not that really, it's Ella Bruccoleri. I find her suitors somehow annoying. And it has this triumvirate of horrible characters: 1. Her mum (Ruth Jones). 2. One of her sisters and 3. Mr Darcy's sister Tanya Reynolds.

Indira Varma, Laurie Davidson, Richard Coyle, Donal Finn, Maddie Close, Poppy Gilbert, Grace Hogg-Robinson (who we've just seen in Silent Witness), Ryan Sampson (of course, from Mr Bigstuff), Richard E Grant.
