Lost in Austen

When a diehard romantic, despite her slouch of a boyfriend (Daniel Percival), and Jane Austen aficionado unexpectedly finds herself talking to Elizabeth Bennet (Gemma Artherton), a character in Pride and Prejudice, in her London bathroom in this creative, well-acted, 3-hour, 2008 television miniseries, the modern-day Londoner woman (Jemima Rooper) finds herself in 19th century England playing matchmaker for the four daughters (Morven Christie, Perdita Weeks, Florence Hoath, and Ruby Bentall) of an English couple (Alex Kingston and Hugh Bonneville) while fighting off the flirtations of three smitten Englishmen (Tom Mison, Elliot Cowan, and Guy Henry).
