Pride and Prejudice

[pozorvlak]

I've just been watching the film of Pride and Prejudice (the one with Kiera thrice-Knightley as Lizzie), and had rather a shock when I realised that Mr Bingley was being played by someone I went to school with! I think he may even have been in my English class when I read the book for GCSE...

It's surprisingly weird watching him on screen - partly not having seen him for years, but mostly seeing someone I know in an actual film. Not at all like watching a friend on stage.

Anyway, he's a nice chap, so it's good to see he's doing well...

Yeah - they were both at Oxford a little while ago. Actually, probably while you were, pozorvlak - I know that Mark knew them vaguely. He worked on a show with Simon, and "once asked Roz Pike where something was." Obviously, he's far more pleased by the latter because she was a bond girl.

Simon was at Magdalen and Roz was at Wadham. I suspect they knew each other through OUDS.

I wasn't :-(.

My sister was though. So, in answer to your question, yes.

And your other sister's at Cambridge :-)

Well, yeah - he was in my year at school, so he would have been either in my year or the year above at Oxford :-) Though I didn't know he'd gone to Oxford, tbh.

Roz Pike, a Bond girl? *imdbs* Ah, Die Another Day. I'd trauma-erased that one.
