The 1995 production, to me, was by far the best adaptation of Pride and Prejudice , truest to the book. I thought the casting was close to perfect.

This video is useless; the narrative is not well coordinated with the stills.

Mike Leigh is pronounced Mike Lee. Iain Glen is pronounced like Ian Glen. The h in Sawalha is not pronounced. There are many other mispronunciations too. Mr Collins is not that 'distantly' related to Mr Bennet. He is a nephew. You failed to mention the Mr Collins actor's probably best role which was playing Cicero in the highly acclaimed HBO series 'Rome'. You can see his performance in the youtube video Caesar Augustus tribute Rome, As well as in Death of Cicero. Interestingly the actor who plays the adult Octavian (later Caesar Augustus), played the foppish Charles Bingley in the film version of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightly.

Julia Sawahla has morphed into Brenda Blethyn. Colin Firth & Matthew Macfadyen are also mixed up. Good start!
