The third installment of The Complete Jane Austen series, Mansfield Park, will air this coming Sunday, January 27, 2008 at 9:00 pm (check local listings) on PBS.
Here is a quick synopsis of Mansfield Park: Fanny Price (Billie Piper, Doctor Who, The Ruby in the Smoke) is plucked from poverty as a child and taken to live with relatives at stately Mansfield Park. Surrounded by entitled and vain cousins, Fanny forges a connection with one — Edmund Bertram (Blake Ritson, Inspector Lynley Mysteries).

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.
