In a world where obtaining an advantageous marriage is a woman's sole occupation, Elizabeth's independent manner threatens her family's future. The timeless themes of love and marriage in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's superb romantic comedy, have captured readers for generations the novel has sold more than 20 million copies and has never been out of print. Now, A&E® and the BBC bring this beloved classic to life in a compelling production directed by Upstairs, Downstairs' Simon Langton. This stunning production captures all the celebrated beauty of the English countryside and its glorious, stately manors, and features lavish costumes and an exquisite soundtrack from noted composer Carl Davis. Will Elizabeth's romantic sparring with the mysterious and arrogant Darcy end in misfortune, or will love's true nature prevail?

After Lydia is married, she and Wickham come to Longbourn for a visit before joining Wickham's new regiment in the North. She is as silly as ever and very proud of her success in catching Wickham, even offering to get husbands for her sisters. But she accidentally lets slip that Darcy was at her wedding. Elizabeth writes to Mrs Gardiner for an explanation.
