Does anybody know when and what station this is going to be on?
I live in the U. S. Is this a masterpiece theater? or a BBC?
shareIt's a co-production between ITV and Masterpiece Theatre. It will be shown in the US in Noveber 2007, along with ITV's new productions of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. BBC's new Sense and Sensibility will also be shown then; Masterpiece Theatre is calling it a Jane Austen Festival!
shareThanks for the info :D
share"Jane Austen Festival!"
I like the sound of that; I had better mark my calander.

You're welcome. :-)
Also, just to let you know--
I wouldn't normally point out someone's spelling mistakes, but as you have it in your sig, I thought you'd like to know that Lizzy is spelled with a "y" rather than "ie." :-)
(and in the novel, the quotation is "My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me" (chapter 31).
I'm blushing. That's what I get for taking things from a secondary source. I'll change in now. I have scene it both ways. I usually spell lizzie with a "y" too but I have a friend who spells it "ie" and I never even looked at my sig after I put it on. It was just there.
As for the qoute in my edition it is "with" It is also chapter 8 of volumn 2 still the 31st chapter but that is interesting thatit is different. The edition I took it from isSignet Classic. I'll have to check my other copy and see it it is different.

Ahh! Excellent! You know, I have heard of other little differences between editions of Austen's novels! For example, there are editions that edit Austen's use of "caro sposo" and "caro sposa" in Emma. But I happen to agree with people who think Austen did this on purpose, to show that Mrs. Elton tries to act so intellectual, but only comes off silly with her inconsistencies and malapropisms! ;-)
