News on MISS AUSTEN REGRETS at last!
How lovely to finally tick that category box…we had just about given up on this project!
From an interview with Gwyneth Hughes, scriptwriter of the BBC series Five Days and several other films, briefly mentioned Miss Austen Regrets in an interview with the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain.
What projects have you got coming up next?
I’m in pre-production for my film called Miss Austen Regrets for the BBC. It tells the story of the last couple of years of her life, and tries to make sense of how she felt about her own romantic choices. I’m also in the middle of writing another true-life story for ITV and there are various other projects in development which I am too superstitious to talk about.
Hmm, almost sounds like a sequel for BECOMING JANE!
There, chew on that for a bit. *throws raw meat into cage, backs away quickly*

Only it sounds much, much better than Becoming Jane
Sounds well, but we’ll see
Yay! It’s confirmed! I lurvs BBC!
I totally trust the BBC, and I’m sure they don’t mess it up. Something to look forward to!
Why assume she regrets her romantic choices?
Of course it will be better than Becoming Jane! It’s the BBC, so it will pay some heed to historical accuracy. Though Jessica Irene is quite right – there is no evidence Jane Austen regretted changing her mind about Harris Bigg-Wither and that was the only time that she had a romantic choice. She did not choose that Tom Lefroy did not make her an offer, he did, nor was it Jane’s choice that the mysterious gentleman she met on holiday should die unexpectedly.
Perhaps she regretted not telling Bigg-Wither off?
