windemereThe newest mini-series to hit the UK screens. It's the story of a modern woman obsessed with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice who finds that a door in her bathroom leads her to the Bennett's house and she switches places with Elizabeth Bennett and lands herself in a whole boatload of trouble.
I am in love, though, because when I was younger and I read Jane Austen's works I used to dream I was in the stories. And most specifically, that I'd marry Mr. Darcy because...come on! I am therefore enjoying the whole thing immensely.
The amusing thing is that half the guest cast of Doctor Who are in it. I spent the entire first episode going "she looks familiar. I wonder what she was in...oh, I know!".
