This was definitely the best production of ",Pride and Prejudice " ever. It was trurer to the book snd the acting was supperb of any account American or English. This is a classic that can always be shown. They all deserve an Oscar .
Everyone was so perfectly cast- hard to pick a favourite but I must say Alison Steadman’s squawking Mrs Bennet really brought a lot of life and comedy to every scene she was in 😂
Absolutely! Wine doesn’t leave a trail of washing on the floor nor does it open the fridge every 5 minutes to see if food has magically appeared out of nowhere😂
What stands out to me was the perfect casting and acting, e.g., how with simply an expression Colin Firth showed pride and then puzzlement over his attraction to Elizabeth at their first ball.
I loved everything about this series, absolutely everything, and one little thing that stood out for me was precisely Julia S. playing Lydia, with her cheekiness and raspy voice. She was infuriating and hilarious and no other actress playing the Bennet's youngest daughter ever came close to having her charisma. That raspy voice! Loved it.
The one thing I didn't like was that she clearly was so very much older than the character. At times, it was cringing to see this mature woman play a teenager.
@@carmenl163I disagree Julia Sawalha had already had plenty of practice pulling off a teenager while in her mid twenties, albeit a more sensible one than Lydia, as Saffron in Absolutely Fabulous. It's called acting. Only Jennifer Ehle was physically anywhere close to the age of her Character. But all of the girls pulled of the younger roles.
@@annamae859 That's not acting. Otherwise all child actors would be replaced by adults. Men would play women and black facing wouldn't be a thing. Costumes and sets wouldn't be necessary. Acting is about ensuring that everything resembles as much as possible to a certain fantasy situation.
This was the very best of all time , and I'm 81 yrs. Old. This should be shown over and over again. This is absolutely a classic . Director and actors did an absolutely a superb job. They should winn an award no one has been able to surpass them in this story.***************************************************
I have it on disk and watch it at least once a year since it's release. I loved all the character portrayals but that Mr Collins was the best. He was so slimy and disgusting. That actor did a great job.
Colin Firth will always be my Mr Darcy. I'm also amazed that so many of the "younger" cast were a great deal older than the characters they portrayed - and that Lady Catherine was quite a bit younger than she seemed in the production (great make up and hair)
I've been a jane Austen fan since I was 14 - I'm 61 now - and in my opinion this adaptation is the best. It captured Austen's characters perfectly. I remember at the time there was criticism of Alison Steadman's role as Mrs Bennet, but personally I think she was wonderful. Still enjoy watching this today.
This introduced me to Jane Austen when I was 15 because of this adaptation and have loved all her stories from this moment and made me become an avid reader.
P&P 1995 is absolutely the best adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel that I have ever seen. I love the 2005 adaptation as well, but it requires a thorough reading or readings of Jane Austen’s novel, or viewing the 1995 version first, to understand it because there simply isn’t enough time in a two hour film to develop all the nuances of the novel.. The six episodes of 1995 do have the time to develop the story and it is simply said, brilliant. Thank you Andrew Davies for your superb screenplay. And every actor nails their role. Jane Austen would have loved it, I’m sure.🌹
Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were so perfect in their roles. They truly did justice to Austen’s work. One criticism of this video. Telling us someone is alive doesn’t seem like much of an update.
I still watch the 1995 series of Pride & Prejudice; Great actors and a pleasure to watch. I preferred it to the 2005 version. I thought Julia Sawalha was brilliant as Lydia.
I love Jennifer Ehle. I've seen her in some other productions from past and present. She is a versatile actress, playing many different characters. She was a great Elizabeth. I think her rendition of Lizzie was iconic. Loved her refusal of Darcy scene. She handled it beautifully. Very emotional yet true to her character's pride . Loved it. I try to watch anything I see with her name on the credits.
I love the book and this is the best because it was true to the book. The cast, acting, costumes and sets are the best hands down, it was really well done by everyone involved, it takes you into the world Jane Austen describes in the book. It is only version I have watched more than once and have continued to watch over the years which from me is very high praise.
It is a version of P&P that is unmatched - I watched it many times - Loved the experience each time! What surprises me is that Jennifer Eyle remained in the background of the acting world even after her awesome performance as Elizabeth Bennett while Colin Firth who played Darcy, shot into worldwide stardom immediately with leading roles in classic movies, box office hits, and ... Puzzling! Is it that female stars have to reinvent themselves more often in order to stay in view ...
Austen was *so* good at writing scathing portrayals of inappropriate aspirants to heroines' hands. Wickham the slimeball, William Elliot the money-grubber, and John Thorpe the boorish lout leap to mind. But she excelled at clergymen. I sometimes wonder if she had specific men in mind, as some of their quirks and turns of phrase seem so true-to-life. Goodness knows, she would have had ample opportunity to observe her father's colleagues. I wonder if any of them recognized themselves in her novels and blushed? Nah -- the curates and vicars Austen depicted were so lacking in self-awareness, they wouldn't have seen themselves in their satirized forms.
It’s the subtleties. They’re all brilliant with them but it really comes out so well in Darcy. You see what looks like ge I e admiration when Lizzie is talking. My favorite scene of Darcy’s might be his interaction with Mr. Collins
Wonderful to see them then and now, but very little info about their lives, just that they currently "live a happy life". Anyway, thank you for the pictures and update on the actors of my favorite P&P adaptation. My favorites are Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, they were superb, and I was surprised to know that Jennifer Ehle is America, she portrayed Elizabeth Bennet wonderfully.
The all-time greatest, best film ever made of this great Jane Austen novel. And my favorite character? Colin Firth's smoldering Mr Darcy! Just can't help it, I guess.
Mr Darcy Adored British Actor Every role he ever played on followed him through every emotion he so marvelously portrayed. Each role was perfectly distributed. The Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice. Was my first book of hers given for Christmas 1950. At 12. The first 'modern' book.
I've seen some good Mr. Collins performances in other versions, but David Bamber is the gold standard, in my opinion. And Barbara Leigh-Hunt makes an outstanding Lady Catherine. They both steal every scene they're in.
It took me about 15 years to come around to this version having been a fierce proponent of the 1980 version with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul. I've watched the 1980 version close to 1,000 times. What irked me about the 1995 version has mellowed over time and the scene between Eliza and Darcy at Pemberly, and his need to return to the piano room later is one of the finest pieces of cinema ever.
Esse filme do ano de 1995, foi a melhor versão, eu já assisti, umas 10 vezes e não me canso de ver. Maravilhoso! Todos atores são, SUPER MARAVILHOSOS! PARABÉNS A TODOS.!!
I'm sorry that the actor that played Mr. Bennett died which he was excellent in his part and will always loved him for the wonderful acting he did in Pride & Prejudice.
The entire cast of this superb series were excellent. That said, Anna Chancellor has been a particular favorite of mine since seeing her in this version of P&P. Her role in Tipping the Velvet was certainly a surprising departure after playing Miss Bingley.
This is absolutely my very favorite adaptation of Pride and Prejudice! The cast is perfection except, and don't hate me for this, the girl that played Jane. I just did not care for her and I didn't think she was nearly as beautiful as Elizabeth! Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy - oh my! And Mr. Collins in this is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for this very, very interesting video!
This is a strange video,regarding what the actors are currently doing. The whole cast was exceptional. The script followed the book which is amazing in and of itself and much appreciated by Austin followers.
I think the 1995 P&P is my favorite thing to watch. I have it on dvd (finally!) and could watch it over and over. I have several parts of it memorized. Favorite character? Probably Lizzy. Though I adore Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy I think Jennifer Ehle's performance as Lizzy was wonderful. I love the story because when you really like a man like Mr. Darcy you want him to have the best for the woman he falls in love with. Lizzy is well worthy of him because she is just so cool. I love how she turns down his first proposal because it was so insulting in spite of the fact that accepting him would save her family from that stupid sexist entail. But she had higher principles than that. Little by little she does fall in love with him and then accepts him when she realizes he really is a good man and now she loves him. P&P is my favorite book. Other great performances were Mrs. Bennet ("Oh, Mr. Bennet!") and Lady Catherine. All of the actors were just perfect for their roles.
My favorite character was Mrs Benett. I am a fan of Jane Austin. Must have read all her books several time. Of all, pride and prejudice is my favorite. This mini series resembles the book the best. I own the CD ‘s and have watched it over and over again.
I love this cast of actors. They are priceless. I love Pride and Prejudice. Did you know that the actors who played Darcy and Elizabeth dated in real life? I think very briefly but they did! I just find that so delicious.
It was such a great series, done so well and with none of today's attitudes and cultural references or signalling to prevailing concerns and ideals. Just pure Jane Austen - and done as well as possibly could be. There was a Vanity Fair series too - every bit as well done, and I loved that too. It was the last blast of the 20th century firing off it's final cultural references - without argument and controversy or attempting to identify in terms of modern UK.
I've read that Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle dated but split up afterwards. Sometimes the films or mini-series can be seductive but in real life each individual has their own personality and ego to consider.
I worked as a nurse before I retired so I don't see the rerun of Pride and Prejudice until around in the 2015 or so. So Colin Firth is still the best Mr. Darcy I think.
Beautiful cast. The 1995 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. The actors still look good after 28 years and are good in other performances in which I've seen them.
The clips from the present are so very weird. They add nothing, but rather actually take away from this video. They start and stop in mid-conversation and almost all of them have nothing to do with P and P!
I loved the mini series of "Pride & Prejudice" but knew very little of Jane Austen before this series and since it came on A/E Network I was thrilled to see and later got the book which I loved and realized the miniseries follow this great story from Jane Austen. I still love and read it whenever I can. As for my interest in characters were both Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennett. Plus, the other characters that were magnificent including the Bennett parents and young adolescent daughters. The entire work from A/E Entertainment Network was a masterpiece that could not be copied or duplicated by any other Screenplay except. Davis. So -much beloved CD miniseries was given to me by my daughter on Christmas Day.
For casting and rewriting, the movie demands the highest praise. I have watched this supurbly presented tv production many times, always with great pleasure. The costumes and the language of the time adds to the perfection of Pride and Prejudice. The historical rules re family and inheritances expands the viewing enjoyment with personal judgements on how masculine power governed much of the financial issues in life at that time, so personal feelings of viewers on this subject added to the quality of this time and indicated how unfortunate situations could be eased. Being of English birth, I am exceedingly proud and prejudiced that this successful programme was acted out so superbly, that the love element was portrayed delightfully and if the author could be alive today, she would not fail to be very happy, "indeed". Thankyou Vintage TV Shows.
The 1995 series will always be for me the definitive dramatization with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Furth as the lead characters. I gave up watching this video before I was half way through it. I got tired of hearing that X is living happily at age Y. I wasn't learning anything that I already knew about the actors.
@patriciabamford27 maybe not but she took Mr. Darcy to task and down a few notches when his pride was too high which he was came back to renounce her prejudices. The story lines followed the book closely. Loved Mr. Bennett in the other one which was a series with Jennifer Ehles.

In my opinion, this is the best film adaptation of this Jane Austen novel. The cast is beyond praise
Except it wasn’t a film. It was a six part television show.
Colin was my favorite
Es la que más me gusta,también!Sus personajes se parecen más a los de esa época,mujeres y hombres,más rellenitos.
Still my favorite
The best version of this movie!
This was definitely the best production of ",Pride and Prejudice " ever. It was trurer to the book snd the acting was supperb of any account American or English. This is a classic that can always be
shown. They all deserve an Oscar .
Everyone was so perfectly cast- hard to pick a favourite but I must say Alison Steadman’s squawking Mrs Bennet really brought a lot of life and comedy to every scene she was in 😂
Colin Firth is still the best Mr. Darcy of all time - he's like fine wine, the older the better 😊
Yes but there is a big difference between men and wine....
Absolutely! Wine doesn’t leave a trail of washing on the floor nor does it open the fridge every 5 minutes to see if food has magically appeared out of nowhere😂
@@daisy8297 As to the main differences between men and wine I must say that your list is too short.
Me and my mum even agree that he’s the best one too
He is divine ❤❤
To me, Jennifer Ehle became Elizabeth Bennet, she was absolutely perfect, better than I had imagined the character Eliabeth, when reading the book.
I agree, she was a great Elizabeth, absolutely the best.
She was perfect, I don't know why her career never really took off.
RIP Benjamin Whitrow, who was the best Mr. Bennett ever ⭐🧡
“He simpers and smirks and makes love to us all. I’m prodigiously proud of him.”
What stands out to me was the perfect casting and acting, e.g., how with simply an expression Colin Firth showed pride and then puzzlement over his attraction to Elizabeth at their first ball.
I knew the moment I saw him Colin WAS Darcy.
I can’t get enough of this version and cast of Pride & Prejudice. Mr. Darcy!

Bob, I agree the Pinnacle of perfection... So well cast, so well shot...The Perfect, Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett
Yes - the casting, sets and costumes were all perfect! I could literally watch this again and again. The most wonderful costume drama ever!
I have it on disk and watch it at least once a year since it's release. I loved all the character portrayals but that Mr Collins was the best. He was so slimy and disgusting. That actor did a great job.
The last time I checked, Crispin Bonham - Carter chucked in acting and became a teacher in a state - government, school, I think.
A rare chap indeed.
I watch this at least once a year, it is a masterpiece, this summary doesn't do it much justice however.
It’s on my once a year list too
Colin Firth will always be my Mr Darcy. I'm also amazed that so many of the "younger" cast were a great deal older than the characters they portrayed - and that Lady Catherine was quite a bit younger than she seemed in the production (great make up and hair)

Love, love, love this series … one of the best TV productions EVER ❤ (IMO)
Fun fact: The actresses who played Georgianna Darcy and Lizzy's Aunt Gardiner (Joanna David and Emilia Fox) are mother and daughter in real life
Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were so perfect in their roles. They truly did justice to Austen’s work. One criticism of this video. Telling us someone is alive doesn’t seem like much of an update.

I don't know why her career didn't take off, she was wonderful. It's a mystery.
All the character portrayals were plain brilliant. An amazing programme/film.
I thought Alison Steadman played her part perfectly.
I agree this was definitely the best tv or film version of 'Pride and Prejudice' ever! Superb cast!
Lost count how many times I've watched it?
Most of the actors are fantastic 😍. But Mr. Collins is so ridiculous, self-satisfied, and patently stupid, I have high praise for his portrayal!
I know right? Couldn’t stand that character. Wanted to throat punch him. The actor did a fabulous job. ❤
Yet the same actor gave a chilling portrayal of Adolf Hitler in Valkyrie a few years later.
Yes, Forgot to add he's totally unrecognizable in other roles! Great character actor!
Oh yes, he makes you cringe every second of his appearance :)
Austen was *so* good at writing scathing portrayals of inappropriate aspirants to heroines' hands. Wickham the slimeball, William Elliot the money-grubber, and John Thorpe the boorish lout leap to mind. But she excelled at clergymen.

My favorite scene of Darcy’s might be his interaction with Mr. Collins
Colin Firth did an excellent Mr. Darcy best. None of the future adaptation could match this series from 1995.

I particularly like this 1995 production. Nice to see what cast is up to these days!
I agree that this is the best adaptation ever. David Bamber was outstanding, and will always be Mr. Collins to me!
Agreed, I can't read the novel without imagining him speaking every line Austen writes for Collins.
Best adaptation by far 👏 ❤
Nobody can fault this cast,each and everyone of them were true to their character.
Loved it .
I’m so glad all those who are still alive are living happily.
Mr Darcy Adored British Actor Every role he ever played on followed him through every emotion he so marvelously portrayed. Each role was perfectly distributed. The Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice. Was my first book of hers given for Christmas 1950. At 12. The first 'modern' book.
I've seen some good Mr. Collins performances in other versions, but David Bamber is the gold standard, in my opinion. And Barbara Leigh-Hunt makes an outstanding Lady Catherine. They both steal every scene they're in.

Oh yes, 1995 is the best of all adaptations to date.
Interesting,y, Jane Austin, the author of Pride and Prejudice, is 8 times great aunt to Anna Chancellor, (Miss Bingley)
I never knew this! Awesome fact :)

Good to see where this incomparable cast is today!
The sound was rather uneven, though.
This is the BEST P&P adaptation EVER!
So pleased everyone is living ‘happily’ nowadays
I'm sorry that the actor that played Mr. Bennett died which he was excellent in his part and will always loved him for the wonderful acting he did in Pride & Prejudice.
I love how all of them are living happily at whatever age they are, of course except for Mr.Bennet, Benjamin Whitrow. I love this adaptation.
Yes his quirky sayings and handling Mrs. Bennett so well.
"don't stray from the script!" they're all living happily at whatever age they are now
So many people living happily
Obviously, they haven’t done much investigating into any of the cast’s lives post P&P or this video would have been much more interesting 😁
Most of these folks have appeared on Midsomer Murders to my joy!
The entire cast of this superb series were excellent. That said, Anna Chancellor has been a particular favorite of mine since seeing her in this version of P&P. Her role in Tipping the Velvet was certainly a surprising departure after playing Miss Bingley.
I'm not sure if you know, but Anna is a direct descendants of one of Austen's brothers.
Absolutely fantastic!! I own it and have watched it clise to 100 times!!!! I know every line 😁
That was the best production ever ❤
Colin Firth, the perfect Mr. Darcy ❣️
Wow that’s a lot of people currently living happily. One wonders just how you know whether or not they are living happily.
This is absolutely my very favorite adaptation of Pride and Prejudice! The cast is perfection except, and don't hate me for this, the girl that played Jane. I just did not care for her and I didn't think she was nearly as beautiful as Elizabeth! Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy - oh my! And Mr. Collins in this is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for this very, very interesting video!
Just a bit bland by comparison maybe.
We don't see enough of Julia Sawalha on TV any more 😍
She was in AbFab
She was in Larkrise to Candleford
She was absolutely brilliant in Larkrise to Candleford. I'm surprised that she's not used more often.
I love watching her in TIME GENTLEMEN PLEASE with Al Murray.
This is a strange video,regarding what the actors are currently doing.
The whole cast was exceptional. The script followed the book which is amazing in and of itself and much appreciated by Austin followers.
I think the 1995 P&P is my favorite thing to watch. I have it on dvd (finally!) and could watch it over and over. I have several parts of it memorized. Favorite character? Probably Lizzy. Though I adore Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy I think Jennifer Ehle's performance as Lizzy was wonderful.

But she had higher principles than that. Little by little she does fall in love with him and then accepts him when she realizes he really is a good man and now she loves him. P&P is my favorite book. Other great performances were Mrs. Bennet ("Oh, Mr. Bennet!") and Lady Catherine. All of the actors were just perfect for their roles.
my favorite version of Pride and Prejudice right here. The old black and white with Lawrence Olivier was good too, but this one is my favorite
I love Greer Garson's Lizzy in the Olivier version
Pity the costumes were wrong 😞
@@sharynkhan1104 that doesn't matter to me, I thought the acting was great. And I may or may not have a bit of a crush on Colin Firth, lol.
Absolutely fabulous , I watch it at least once a year. Colin Firth is the best Mr, Darcy, but the cast in general is superb.🇨🇦
I’m guessing “living happily” is the opposite of dead?
Yes it still managed to be a bit of a dead end. Nothing about what they did after.
Still undoubtedly the best adaptation. Wonderful casts
My favorite character was Mrs Benett. I am a fan of Jane Austin. Must have read all her books several time. Of all, pride and prejudice is my favorite. This mini series resembles the book the best. I own the CD ‘s and have watched it over and over again.
Love this version ❤

Very nice review of then and now!
This was nice to watch. Thank you
Popular opinion often praises the 2005 movie version, but to me this adaptation is excellent. And my absolute favourite.
It’s just the best film depicting the authenticity on the novel. The cast members all had such an amazing chemistry. It can’t be duplicated.
I worked as a nurse before I retired so I don't see the rerun of Pride and Prejudice until around in the 2015 or so. So Colin Firth is still the best Mr. Darcy I think.
Love that you clarify "London, England...UK"
All of the interviews with the actors have nothing to do with the series
It’s the best production barr none.
i love it,,i do have DVD and still VCR,,,LOVE THEM ALL,,,
Alison Steadman should have received an Oscar!
My favorate character was Mr. Collins who was acted very well and with humour!
Beautiful cast. The 1995 film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. The actors still look good after 28 years and are good in other performances in which I've seen them.

For casting and rewriting, the movie demands the highest praise. I have watched this supurbly presented tv production many times, always with great pleasure. The costumes and the language of the time adds to the perfection of Pride and Prejudice. The historical rules re family and inheritances expands the viewing enjoyment with personal judgements on how masculine power governed much of the financial issues in life at that time, so personal feelings of viewers on this subject added to the quality of this time and indicated how unfortunate situations could be eased. Being of English birth, I am exceedingly proud and prejudiced that this successful programme was acted out so superbly, that the love element was portrayed delightfully and if the author could be alive today, she would not fail to be very happy, "indeed".
Thankyou Vintage TV Shows.
Love this video!
The 1995 series will always be for me the definitive dramatization with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Furth as the lead characters. I gave up watching this video before I was half way through it. I got tired of hearing that X is living happily at age Y. I wasn't learning anything that I already knew about the actors.
How does he know everyone is living happily?
😄👍🏼
The very best TV serie I ever saw. I love all characters!!
My favorite first is Mrs. Bennet then Mr Collins then the rest
For me it is the other way round, Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet and then the rest :)
Mr Whitrow had such beautiful eyes. Pure kindness was reflected in his eyes
I think David Bamber's performance was brilliant. Mr Collins came to life and what an odd little man he is! ☮️
Bingley looks so distinguished now . wow!
Name of music being played in background please ?
This video stands out from the rest. It offers a fresh take on the subject matter and presents information in an innovative way
What a wonderful update. We find out their current ages and that they are all living happily. What a waste of time!
This is years old. I was born around the same time as some of the actresses and older than the ages that are stated
Barbara Leigh Hunt aged beautifully! She was amazing in this production
so why the picture of someone in a wheelchair? more clickbait
The best version xxx
It's so nice to see Miss Bingham and Lady Catherine looking so pleasant in real life.
This is the best adaptation of any 😮Jane Austen novel in my opinion. I liked Elizabeth and Mr Darcey.
All the actors were so well chosen for there part witch made it the best version of Pride and Prejudice by far no other comes close all stars 🌟
*their😅
Loved all the main characters in this movie and the one with Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfadeyen. Just love Pride and Prejudice period!
Sorry but this series was the very best by miles of all time especially than the movie with Kiera and Matthew...
I never could bring myself to watch Kiera play Elizabeth Bennett, even although it meant missing Matthew.
Kiera Knightley wasn’t anywhere near the Jane Austen character, hated it.
@patriciabamford27 maybe not but she took Mr. Darcy to task and down a few notches when his pride was too high which he was came back to renounce her prejudices. The story lines followed the book closely. Loved Mr. Bennett in the other one which was a series with Jennifer Ehles.
