I was smitten when this first came out, and saw it back to back then. I just caught it on cable twice, and have purchased the dvd to watch it more often, and at my leisure. More than 5 hours here.
Jennifer Ehle is such a wonderful Elizabeth, and Colin Firth a definitive Darcy. I can find almost no fault with the whole production, although perhaps Alison Steadman (Mrs Bennett) is OTT, as I can't imagine why Mr Bennett would have married her. Also Julia Sawahlia is a trifle too buxom for a 15-year old.
Apart from that, it is absolutely entrancing viewing.
