Too be fair... 2005 is a good shortened version... where not everyone can sit down for 6hrs. I have read the book, read the annotated book too, many times both, seen the series many times... however 2005 has a succinctness that can get a non-period-drama person hooked, to want to explore more. 😊

@@chistkachistka6014 Truthfully our tendency to be easily trained to enjoy short form media holds with the statistic in our behavior. Six hour series isn't that long. It was never intended to be viewed in one stint. It was a periodic program. Additionally, Kiera Knightly, the supporting cast (including Mr. Darcy) were eminently forgettable in the 2005 version. So, while we love our short form media, binge watching the 1995 version is just wonderful.

@@chistkachistka6014 2005 has nothing to do with the original. They should call it "Mathhew and Keira fall in love in some weird pseudo-Georgian era settings". You can think that it was a good Austen adaptation only if you have not read the novel and have no knowledge of history whatsoever

Those involved have not tried to improve on the original or modernise it. They have tried to keep as true as possible to the novel.

I remember when P&P first aired on A&E as a weekly installment. Some weeks I couldn't watch it because my brother -whom I shared my first appartment with - won at Rock, Paper, Scissors that night and got to monopolize the only cable TV we had, so I would record it and pray the VCR didn't screw it up. When it's a cold and rainy weekend, and perfect for curling up under the duvet to watch it again for the upteenth time, giant bowl of ice cream smothered in fudge and caramel sauce in hand, I still get giddy as soon as I hear the opening score. And when it's over, I also still get a little depressed that it's already over!

He's great, but I have to admit that I also loved what Tom Hollander did with the character in the 2005 version (I'm generally a huge fan of his work). I know he took it in a different direction than the 1995, and further from the book (awkward rather than pompous), but he was so hilarious, and so subtle about it (the line "what a beautiful house and what excellent boiled potatoes" always kills me!). He was one of my favourite things about the 2005 version!

This adaption of Pride and Prejudice is my favourite ever. Brilliant casting, brilliant direction and production. I loved it, but felt so let down by the final episode, which should have been the culmination….the best! Why, oh why, did it deny us my favourite bits of the book? The evening after Darcy’s proposal, when it’s all a secret from her family, and then when she teases him over why they failed to get together earlier. Worst of all, missing out on Mrs Bennet’s reaction to their engagement. Surely that scene with Mrs Bennet is a gift to any dramatist. What a missed opportunity.

Never understood why people think a film or tv adaptation should be good just because it was "faithful" to the novel - if that was true, showing pictures of the manuscript one by one would be the only legitimate and ultimate adaptation of literature. For me especially the 'unfaithful' adaptions are like seeing the same scenes and people in it from different angles, wide or close. Whenever they give me a new view on a character i didn't see before - they unveil an inherent truth in literature. And that is so much more important than uninspired faithfulness.

2005 is like Prejudice for dummies. It’s a wonderful production for sure, but it leaves out a lot of detail. It’s a quick read. The Colin Firth ‘Mr. Darcy’ and the series as a whole is most enjoyable. The 1940 version is a fun watch also even in black and white. But 1995 remains my favorite. Taking time to tell the story through 6 episodes is enthralling. Having all three in my iTunes library, I have the ability to watch whichever version I am in the mood for.

It was an excellent and faithful dramatisation with superb acting and directing. But I kept being distracted by anachronisms in the rural scenes, that it is unlikely that anyone else noticed, and that it is probable that nothing could have been done about. There were broken down fences and walls, and overgrown hedges, that would have been well maintained to confine livestock, and huge fields with evidence of hedgerows having been removed not that long ago, and more maize than was grown even when I was young.
