I'm planning on watching all of the Jane Austen series on Masterpiece. So far we watched Persuasion and it was very well done. And it's true -- Jane Austen is not a prim writer. She's hilarious and quite smart.
(and quite an awesome Mr. Darcy picture for this article!)

Quoted: Andrew Davies is talking about sex. He is also talking about Jane Austen, beloved chronicler of early 19th century English manners.
