I always thought they basically wanted to just keep doing the Sweeney but as a period piece, couldn't get it commissioned so came up with the whole coma/ purgatory gambit to try and get it greenlit
Still the single best Austen ever made and ever broadcast. I don't like Jane Austen and I enjoyed it! It was just superb, acting, writing, direction, production, the lot
And just makes me bewildered why current efforts are so banal
31 years ago today, the BBC premiered the first episode of โPride & Prejudiceโ starring: Colin Firth as Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy & Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet.

Me, midday today: Bit of energy coming back, maybe I'm getting better ๐ฅณโค๏ธ

Him: Yeah! Had great time at the bar. Just answering some work emails ๐ Writing up some stuff for them. Doing some reports...
Me: So basically doing your job ๐คจ
Him: ๐
Me: So having a good holiday then?
He says I like him because he has a work ethic. I'm like yes, but there's a difference between work ethic and burning yourself out and keeling over before we get the chance to do the relationship thingie in person (I know, been there, burned out, had the transfusions)

Leek and potato soup tonight ๐คค
Well, made in bouts of five mins standing, then sitting, then five standing, as the heart rate does some mountaineering
But OMG it's already amazing ๐คค
Leek, potato, white onion, chopped garlic, thyme, oak smoked salt, onion salt and butter
