A collection of six BBC dramatisations of Jane Austen classics.
Adapted by Andrew Davies after his success with his work on George
Elliot's 'Middlemarch' for television, 'Pride and Prejudice' was
the BBC's flagship drama in the schedule for autumn 1995. The story
revolves around the arrival of the wealthy Mr Darcy (Colin Firth)
and party and the excitement he causes amongst the five daughters
of the Bennett family. In 'Persuasion' (1995), Anne Elliott (Amanda
Root) has spent years regretting her rejection of Captain
Wentworth's (Ciaran Hinds) proposal of marriage. When he returns
from sea they meet, but instead of finding romance are kept apart
through a series of misunderstandings. Anne is being pursued by her
cousin, Mr Elliott (Samuel West), while Captain Wentworth is now
regarded as a very eligible bachelor. 'Northanger Abbey' (1986)
stars Peter Firth and Robert Hardy. The story follows the
adventures of Catherine Moorland (Katharine Schlesinger), who is
invited by the romantic Henry Tilney to stay at the Abbey - and
finds it to be shrouded in mystery and intrigue. In 'Sense and
Sensibility' (1980), sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (Irene
Richard and Tracey Childs) lose their family fortune to spiteful
relatives, and are forced to seek out suitable husbands in order to
survive. While Marianne falls for the heartless John Willoughby
(Peter Woodward), Elinor finds herself attracted to Edward Ferrars
(Bosco Hogan) - who is himself betrothed to Lucy Steele (Julia
Chambers). In 'Mansfield Park' (1983), Fanny Price (Sylvestra Le
Touzel) struggles to adjust to her new aristrocratic lifestyle when
she is sent by her debt-ridden mother to live with her rich aunt
and cousins. Her 'superior' relatives constantly ignore her, and
only her cousin Edmund (Nicholas Farrell) shows Fanny any interest.
However, Fanny's charm and wit eventually win her many potential
suitors, and before long she has to decide whether she wishes to
wed for love or for status. Doran Godwin stars in 'Emma' (1972),
which tells the stroy of the eponymous heroine whose chief joy in
life is organising the lives of the friends with whom she surrounds
herself. She is soon the apple of Mr Knightly (John Carson)'s eye,
an older family friend who has watched her grow and advised her on
many things in life.

only to discover that a wave of evil Mandragora energy has hitched

count, but also prevent the mad monk Heironymous and the Cult of
Demnos from unleashing the Mandragora Helix on mankind.

More sci-fi adventures for the gallant Timelord and his faithful
chums. This time around, the TARDIS malfunctions and shrinks the
Doctor (William Hartnell) so that he is just one inch tall. He then
arrives on Earth and uncovers a diabolical plot by a ruthless
businessman who has developed an insecticide so powerful that it
will wipe out all insect life on the planet. The Doctor and his
companions Barbara (Jacqueline Hill), Ian (William Russell) and
Susan (Carole Ann Ford) try to put an end to these foul schemes,
but that's obviously not so easy when you're no bigger than a
thimble.
