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...

except if you're the one person in the UK who didn't watch it (IE me), and only ever read the book (somewhat obsessively)... :)

Watch it, it's good. Apart from the last episode, when the scriptwriter tries to cram the last third of the book into an hour and does so by cutting all the satire and humour to leave way for the chick-lit.
