BritBox Pride and Prejudice, Darcy Shirt, Jane Austen House

We love all things British - especially British tv programming. We’ve seen everything on Masterpiece. We have had Acorn for over a year and most recently decided to get BritBox. Each has its own positives, and we delight in the shows we have been able to watch. Pride and Prejudice is celebrating 25 years - the series with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. It has been remastered to HD quality on BritBox. We have watched this series so many times and started watching it again. Every time we learn something new - especially when closed caption is on and you know exactly what was said. It’s just a happy story - something we can all use right now. When we were in England we visited Jane Austen’s house in Chawton, where she wrote this masterpiece. Using a quill pen and ink, I wrote a note to her when we entered the building about how happy we were to finally be there. We also saw her last home in Winchester and where she is buried in Hampshire in Winchester Cathedral. Ironically, the Folger Shakespeare Library in DC had a Jane Austen exhibit. And wouldn’t you know there was Mr. Darcy’s shirt in plain sight. We went in after a morning walk to visit it! I’ve read just about all of Jane Austen’s works and love every one of them. She has come to life for me in her books, television programs, and by visiting her homes and burial place. If you haven’t seen this wonderful series please do take the time and watch. It’s simply unforgettable.
