Are all of the Austen mini-series airing on the BBC? I feel like I would have heard about something like this if they were coming to America right now.
I'm not feeling Billie as an Austen heroine either. That Catherine does look like Rory, I agree. She's quiet enough to pull off that part well, though.
Rupert does look good, and I'll watch Persuasion anytime really.
These aren't BBC productions, instead they've been done by ITV, another British network. I'm not sure if ITV has a distrubution deal with an American network so you may not get these for a while.
(SHUT UP Keira Knightley! Go jump in a lake except don't because Colin Firth already did and it was awesome. Take your bangs and never darken my doorstep again!).
YES! GRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I like her fine, but the new version didn't work for me AT ALL (her or that other "New Mr Darcy").
The problem with Billie Piper is that I never see her without TONS of make-up, which doesn't work for an Austen character at all. Or the bleached hair.
The new verison of P&P was more like a Bronte novel what with all the moping around in the woods and weather. P&P is about dialog and sparkling wit. *head desk*
I love Billie but I totally agree about the make-up and the hair. Her face is also a bit too modern for the role.

Good luck on the new classes and such.
