northanger abbey

just saw the first 20mins of northanger abbey, it's so COOL!! it's so very funny, and just as i imagine from the book, very promising beginning! YAY YAY YAY!!!
the costumes are lovely to, and the hair, but for once a modern jane austen adaptation has me more interested in the dialogue and acting, leaving me no time to criticise the clothes! i promise a proper revue later, and one of mansfield park, which was very disappointing, but i didn't really expect much :)
yay, the adverts are nearly over!!

I'm watching it now!! It is good!!

I think the actress playing Miss Morland is very like Kate Beckinsale in "Emma".

Hi,
Is it from BBC?
I have taped Northanger Abbey from a BBC series and that i love two. It has so many lovely costumes and especially all the hats are adorable.
Its some years old.

But maybe its a whole new series?

no it's ITV, the BBC one is terrible in my opinion! they completely missed the point of the book. the costumes are nice, you're right, but very much from the 80s.
ITV made the version of Emma with kate beckinsale, and they've just made 3 more, mansfield park shown last week, northanger abbey, this week and persuasion is next week. if you get the chance to see northanger abbey you'll love it, it's very good :)
