Pride and Prejudice (1995)
Perhaps the best thing about the whole series is its reception, the impact Colin Firth made on the world as Darcy, and of course the quality of the adaptation because novels often suffer if they are to become a film, but just as often they mature if they can be turned into a miniseries. It is also useful to know the series for other viewings, such as Austenland or Bride and Prejudice. #BBC
