Northanger Abbey
Tomorrow night (January 20, 2008) Masterpiece presents Northanger Abbey, part of the Complete Jane Austen on PBS. I have not read or seen this Austen classic (shame on me) so here's the synopsis from Masterpiece's website:
Catherine Morland (Felicity Jones, Meadowlands) has an ordinary life and a feverish imagination. When she gets invited to Bath, Catherine is immersed in a world of elaborate balls and handsome men. When one suitor takes her to his family estate, Northanger Abbey, Catherine becomes mired in a world of fact and fantasy. Is there a dark mystery behind the locked doors of Northanger Abbey? Why has her budding romance suddenly been cut short? Also starring JJ Feild (The Secret Life of Mrs. Beeton), Andrew Davies adapts Austen's gentle parody of gothic fiction.

1Yeah, Thanks for the heads up...today doesn't feel like a sunday. The kids don't have school tomorrow. I was so excited for Persuasion last week, I wasn't even missing that one!!! Enjoy the movie!!!
2Thanks so much! I don't think I'll be able to watch it tonight, but will perhaps see if it's available "On Demand" on my cable list. I love romantic classics!

4Love Jane Austen
5Darn, I've missed it. I hope they'll be rebroadcasting soon.
6Masterpiece isn't that great about re-airing--or at least typically they make you wait a year. You can shell out $30 or so for the DVD but here I do have a link http://youtube.com/watch?v=O6zzggU1oIM (It's divided into 11 parts) most of the Masterpiece's Complete Jane Austen's are online (even ones that aren't out yet--but you didn't hear that from me).
7Oooh thanks, I didn't notice this until just now!
My boyfriend found a nice quality version online and we watched it this weekend. I thought it was a great adaptation!
