aww I love how he says "I'm very glad you think so" when she says his house is lovely.

It's so sweet! I love how he starts out wiping the mud from her cheek, but just before they're interrupted, he's holding her face with both hands, and her look is so trusting.

she is so pretty and he is so charming!

They're an adorable couple really. The short scene after they race is pretty perfect; even the music is sweet.

the scene at 3:55 is my absolute favorite! She looks totally beautiful and he looks handsome and it's all soooo romantic. ; )

OH HENRYYY! no one has ever wiped mud away with so much affection!!! lol

Jeez he's got some really nice hands!!!

He is so charming!!!!!

oh yes you are right, he looks like he is full of expectaton the day will bring..I love J.J. Field alias Mr. Tilney in this scene expecialy

totally agree, but i really like the scene when they're sitting by the fire... i love the way he looks at her!

How swoonworthy you are Henry Tilney.

I love it. The second the general is gone everything completely changes tone.

The music is so great!

Henry: "Northanger Abbey would make a very good title, don't you think" XD OMG!

Roaarrr, Mr Tilney! He keeps getting better and better ^_^

It must have been so nice in those days that you could really get to know a person through undisturbed conversations and long walks.

so cute when henry's picking the apples...... he is so cute!

i want one of him pleaseee nom nom nom. the actor almost looks like a younger version of jude law hehe.

mr tilney is avariciously charming

I love the music at 2:26... it's as sweet as they are.

I love how people weren't afraid to look at each other. Looks say a lot, but they weren't afraid to look. Now-a-days, almost everyone's afraid to look.

i think this is my favorite book out of all of the jane austen's books.

Katherine and Henry make such an adorable couple.. ^_^

Haha,"catherine has big eyes." I love how those are the things we remember:D Yeah,I think i might have seen that one.

i totally agree wish men like that still existed in the world today!!!! i seriously wish someone invents the time machine soon!! he he lolzzzz

What are they giggling about? Everyone's always giggling in these movies lol

i like the contrast they used with the horses- ussually the girl is always on the white horse, but the black one fits her personality more.

I love Eleanor. She's so caring and sweet.

i fear we may be about to get a little damp! lol

I read the book maybe once; now I wont to read it over again; I think I would appreciate it more now!! I love that part with the brushing of the mud off her face; that is SOO romantic!! Its obvious he doesn't care about money; if he did; he wouldn't be a curate.

That's what I always think about when I think I want to live in a Jane Austen novel (the monthly gift)! That and indoor plumbing. Oh and toothpaste.

Henry's happy face @ 1:16 when he hears his father is to go away for a few days...YAYY...PARTEEYYY!! ahahah

I thought they were going to go inside his house when they heard the thunder lol

Awe they are such a cute match!

I love her riding hat! So cute!

There's a few of us men that read, watch Jane Austin adaptation's, my favourite Austin women is Elinor/Marianne and Mrs Dashwood, Jane/Lizzy/Kitty Bennet, Anne Eliot, Fanny Price and Eleanor Tilney. (Not necessarily in order) If i was to chose a favourite woman out of them, it would be...hmm,...Probably Mrs Dashwood, Elinor's mother, she's so comfortable been a gentle woman, and her inner/outer beauty is the rarest and beautifulest kind of woman of them all. Hope you don't mind me saying.

Tea and crumpet's round the fire...happy thought indeed.

does anyone know where can i get the music that plays from 1:30........when the old man leaves ....its just so beautiful but i cant find it anywhere in the internet

lol 1:25 she wiggles because she's happy

We don't need a time machine to go back to 18-19 century, all we need are manners, and gentlemans of course!

i wish i was born in that age.... people lived such meaningful lives .....the men were soooo awesome back then....sadly most men are more like animals these days:( mr tinley is the perfect man!!!

i love henry!!!!

We invent a time machine.

It is a lovely home! thanks

Totally agree with alexandrabak!!

missMagbeth - I adore the Dashwood women, all three of them, their so comfortable being women, don't you think? The Bennet women are very agreeable as well, but Mrs Dashwood (The mother) get's my favour of them all.

My goodness, what a stare at 2:31!!

omg..... i want to build a time machine and go back 2 centuries!!!! lol

she looks so sweet in the enormous hat

that version was so bad it was scary. i thank God for this version.

oops - It's the 12th Duke's son that has the art gallery and apartment (apparently!) at Lismore Castle.

@allatraca ... In my own humble opinion, Cap Tilney is there to show just what a 'fantastic man' his brother Henry is... All that is bad in his big brother is totally opposite in Henry, therefore it provides balance... I do like Henry very much and little Catherine and not forgetting Henry's lovely sister too... Maybe his rotten brother takes after his equally obnocious father??? Best wishes and happy Easter from Sunny Wales :0)x

There's one from the 1980s - Mr. Tilney has orange hair and Catherine has big eyes...I think it's on KZfaq somewhere.

Actually Catherine is 17 at the beginning of the novel: in Chapter 1 it says "she had reached the age of seventeen, without having seen one amiable youth who could call forth her sensibility". Otherwise your ages are correct.

blue velvet, crushed

I agree, I didn't care for the novel that much but I LOVE this adaptation

how did mud get on her face ? i swear she was above ground on a horse. nevertheless that was the cutest scene by far

Northanger Abbey was published in 1817 and written around 1790 something so the hat makes sense I guess.

i would really love to but i haven't gotten a chance i hope to in a couple of days though. i bet it is better than the film though the film is really great.

@1981nichole .. But to live in those times you needed a 'Very Good Living'.. Title or Family name.... Knowing my luck, I would have been below stairs scrubbing the floors or cooking... :0(x

@VivaRiaAme Hygenically, I'm happy I live in the 21st century. ;-)

Does anyone know the song that’s playing in the background of the horse riding scene?

From now on I'm going to smear mud on my face in the hopes some hottie will rub it off for me! haha

@alexandrabak I really couldn't agree more!! you would have thought we would have progressed since Jane Austen's time

Is there another version of this?I feel like I've seen it before,but i don't remember the actors.

nevertheless she was capable of racing him back! :)

@june251979 firstly, Thorpe most of all, but which Tilney? If you mean the older brother, pretty much, the younger, OF COURSE NOT!

Yes - where do I find a guy like that?

@BeeVan19 you gotta love Henry!!! God knows I do.

@1981nichole I'm not sure. Human nature is much the same everywhere. I think that what Society deemed as respectable is what kept men in line back then: if one didn't behave, they were cut out. Today's society is much more forgiving, I believe, and THAT is why there are so few awesome men.

At 2:11 what is Henry burning in the fireplace?

@Bex9590 which chapter is cut out?

who the hell is the bad guy:Tilney or Thorpe?

Yeeeees, and you would have had to wear a bone corset at ALL TIMES except sleeping. Oh, and if you didn't get married and your family didn't have a fortune to leave you? Destitute. And that is if you're one of the 'lucky' ones, and not born ALREADY destitute. No thanks, I'll keep the rude people. In exchange, I get to have a career, plumbing, technology and no corsets. I think it's fair trade.

@tiffers1912 I never leave my house without some mud on my face for just such a reason. ^_^

are you all serious when you say this is Hogwarts?

ooooooooo i sense something there~

@DomVig its itv mate not bbc

@VivaRiaAme yeah without being able to vote or work or speaking our mind!

Agreed! :D

I loved Persuasion too but I have to disagree about the 2007 adaptation. I thought it was horrible! The letter scene was completely rewritten *sigh* Much prefer the 1997(?) BBC version but both Captain Wentworths were very good in each.

@pinchyoursoul yes, Cirian Hinds as Captain Wentworth is the best and I couldn't believe they cut out the MOST IMPORTANT scene from the 2007 adaption either. That adaption was hard to watch from the beginning, but after they butchered the story line, and with her full on running about, I won't watch it. Cirian Hinds will always be my Captain Wentworth :)

@wenglishsal haha so true...

@mychemfreak246 they do know and they are suspicious :)

Yes the dresses are beautiful but not practical, If your taking a walk or visiting a friend it might be ok but for the every day life now in the 21th century is not, the dresses would get ruin easily and won't feel confortable.

i wish i was born in that age.... people lived such meaningful lives .....the men were soooo awesome back then....sadly most men are more like animals these days:( mr tinley is the perfect man!!!
