What a lovely Christmas gift for Canadian viewers! Lucky, lucky!
How did I not know that Anthony Stewart Head was going to be Sir Walter?
*dies laughing*
Now I’m going ot expect him to give the “One girl in all the world…” speech to someone during persuasion. Hmmm who would be the slayer? Could it be Mrs. Clay combatting evil forces with gollands? Or perhaps Mary fighting off vampires with hypochondria?
Now the movie will be amusing- even if not for any reason they intended.
Any word if Miss Austen Regrets will be played on TVO??
That’s BBC, so looks like it’s separate. We’ll definitely post it if we hear anything.
