About Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV series) in brief
Pride and Prejudice is a 1995 British television drama, adapted by Andrew Davies from Jane Austen’s 1813 novel of the same name. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth starred as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy respectively. BBC1 originally broadcast the 55-minute episodes from 24 September to 29 October 1995. The A&E Network aired the series in double episodes on three consecutive nights beginning 14 January 1996. The series inspired author Helen Fielding to write the popular Bridget Jones novels, and their screen adaptations subsequently featured Firth as Bridget’s love interest, Mark Darcy. A scene showing Firth in a wet shirt was recognised as \”one of the most unforgettable moments in British TV history\”. The New York Times called the adaptation \”a witty mix of love stories and social conniving, cleverly wrapped in the ambitions and illusions of a provincial gentry\”. It was honoured with several awards, including a BAFTA Television Award for Ehle for \”Best Actress\” and an Emmy for \”Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costume Design for a Miniseries or a Special\”. The role of Darcy elevated Firth to stardom, and he went on to star in several other screen adaptations of the novel, including The Hunger Games and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Dragon, as well as the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and Part III, among other films and TV series.
