OMG... I watched P&P too Miranda! I've actually seen it before, I'd forgotten how badly they'd done it and it's a total shame that Laurence Olivier was in such a horrible version, with a half decent script he would have been a great Darcy. As for Lizzie, that would be Greer Garson who has never been a favorite of mine. All in all one of the worst adaptations Hollywood has ever made.

As for the Keira Knightley version, if they screw it up at least we still have the sublime A&E version to enjoy, it really will be hard to beat Colin Firth as Darcy anyway.

Oooops!
