This 4 part ITV series is wrapping up but I am just starting it.
Lost in Austen is a four-part 2008 British television series for ITV loosely based on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Produced by Mammoth Screen, the series was originally scheduled to be broadcast in May 2008,[2] but it was pushed back until later in the year.[3] The first episode was eventually shown on ITV1 at 9pm on 3 September 2008, gaining 3.8 million viewers.[4] The remaining episodes will be broadcast on a weekly basis.[5] Christina Cole and lead actress Jemima Rooper previously starred together in the Sky One supernatural series Hex.
The series tells the story of Amanda Price (played by Jemima Rooper), a keen Jane Austen fan in the present day, who meets the Pride and Prejudice character of Elizabeth Bennet (played by Gemma Arterton) in her bathroom. Amanda goes through a secret doorway hidden in the wall that Elizabeth showed her, and finds herself trapped inside the story. While Elizabeth is happy to live in Amanda's world, Amanda struggles to make sure that events of the book unfold as they are supposed to, but her presence causes ripples through the Bennet household.
The way i Would describe it is Narnia but instead of going to Narnia you go to the world of P&P.
I am really enjoying it and I don't know if it will but I hope it get's a second series ;)
Anyone here watching it (online like I am?) p.m. me if you would like a link :)
