Death Comes to Pemberley….
For those of you who simply can’t get enough Pride & Prejudice, the BBC has filmed a 3-part mystery based on the fabulous novel by P.D. James. It will air this month in the U.K., and sometime next year for those of us in the states.
Here’s the blurb:
Elizabeth and Darcy, now six years married and with two young sons, are preparing for the lavish annual ball at their magnificent Pemberley home. The unannounced arrival of Elizabeths wayward sister Lydia, however, brings an abrupt and shocking halt to proceedings when she stumbles out of her chaise screaming that her husband Wickham has been murdered.
Darcy leads a search party out to the woodlands, and when they discover the blood-smeared corpse, not of Wickham, but his traveling companion, suspicion is at once aroused. The dramatic and unnerving events of the evening have shattered the peace, both of the Darcys and of Pemberley, and as the family becomes caught up in the ensuing murder investigation, a mysterious web of secrets and deceit will threaten all that the Darcys hold dear.
And here’s the trailer!

Me too, Anita! D’Anne…. I just love these BBC things because they simply LOOK so delicious…and the writing is usually great, too!
I enjoyed the book, and the show adaptation looks wonderful! Too bad we have to wait so long for it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
I trust you’ll keep us apprised of the future US airing dates and stations?
You bet! I looked all over for dates, but the closest I saw was “2014” I’m sure it will be after Downtown Abbey…..so a few months, at least.
MK…. I’m glad you liked the book! I haven’t read it, so I’ll be going into the miniseries with fresh eyes.
That’s so exciting!!! I can’t wait!
Yay! Can’t wait to see this!
Oooooh! Thank you for telling us about this! Can’t WAIT!!
