And it's not just straight dramatisations of P&P - we're now well into the second wave of dramatised fanfic, eg Lost in Austen and Death Comes to Pemberley. Oh, and next week's Woman's Hour Drama is The Mysterious Death of Jane Austen, a story which imagines the author was murdered. At least that should be a Bennet-free zone.
