I am sorry, but there has been a terrible mistake. The A&E version has Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle and not the BBC version. -- coolmallu 2005 July 7 22:19 (UTC)
I swear my VHS copy had the individual episodes broken up, but my DVD copy (U.S.) does not. Does anyone know how the DVD scenes correspond to the T.V. episodes? - Acjelen 19:41, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
The "picture format" is currently listed as PAL (576i). There is currently discussion about whether this should indicate the format the programme was produced in, or how it was originally broadcast. See Template talk:Infobox Television#Picture Format
The series was actually filmed on Super 16 film, not video. I'm not sure it's valid to say it was filmed in PAL ot 576i as to me they refer to analogue and digital video respectively. Originally, the series was shown with an aspect ratio of somewhere between 14:9 and 15:9. The recent DVD releases were remastered into 16:9 widescreen.
Perhaps the infobox should be changed. In any case, it would be nice to add a section to the article on the film format. JRawle ( Talk) 00:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:Pride-and-Prejudice-TV-miniseries.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

For lack of reliable sources that would be allowed in a Good Article or Featured Article, I have removed the following list of music from the article.
I have instead replaced it with information from the making-of book. Some "important" songs are still mentioned in the article in prose, but I don't know for how much longer. – sgeureka t• c 17:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Other removed information because of missing sources:

Removed because it didn't "fit" but may be added later again if appropriate:

This review is transcluded from Talk:Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial) is extremely close to becoming a good article. There's just one thing: The Cast section confuses me. Should n't it be a sub-section under production? Please do so; a "Cast" sectin should be listed somewhat like this:
This is NOT personal preference; GA articles and FA articles alike write their cast sections like this, and I believe this article should be the same. I will leave one week for someone to complete this task, untill then, Limetolime I want an award! • look what I did! 02:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
There are many figures, and they are quite different, so let's see where this goes. I have so far written "Between 10 and 13 million people watched the original six-episode broadcast ...".
'"9 million" "pride and prejudice" firth' gets 200 Googlehits
'"10 million" "pride and prejudice" firth' gets 10.300 Googlehits
'"11 million" "pride and prejudice" firth' gets 500 Googlehits
'"12 million" "pride and prejudice" firth' gets 700 Googlehits
'"13 million" "pride and prejudice" firth' gets 300 Googlehits

Sgeureka's FA nomination for this article failed. It might be ideal to list this article at peer review for wider feedback on structure, prose, etc. I know PR is a bit slow-moving these days but there is usually at least one person who will offer a thorough and professional review of the article. After that, it would be a good idea to let the article frolic in the wilds of Wikipedia for a couple of months before renominating at FAC; Awadeit's comments at FAC prove that there is always a little more that can be included.

I added Template:Pride and Prejudice, but since the Template:Jane Austen is already in place, the section looks too crowded. Should we remove the P&P template, the JA template or keep both? Please discuss. ImperialJaineite ( talk) 02:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Episode 1: Bingley and Jane meet at an ASSEMBLY. A "country dance" is a single piece of music to which people danced. Episode 2: Collins is the "heir in tail" because the property is entailed on heirs male. Elizabeth witnesses Mr Darcy "cutting" Mr Wickham, which is socially reprehensible when nobody knows their history. Wickham did not imply that there was an inheritance coming to him. In fact there was not, there was patronage he thought he had a right to expect, that is, being appointed to the living of a church. Charlotte invites Mr Collins to dine, not to sleep. 108.18.136.147 ( talk) 11:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

The information about the process of casting is all very well, but it is annoying to have to wade through all the prose to find out which actor/actress played which part. It should be done in list form. If you're going to add all this other stuff, then each actor should have their own paragraph, with their name and their character at the beginning.

The Influence and Legacy section that mentions the Bridget Jones movies could be updated to include the most recent "Bridget Jones's baby" (also starring Colin Firth) in 2016. Great article. StaceyG124 ( talk) 21:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Sbishop:, I know this is pedantic but in your revert rationale you said the opening line being “ironic” is well-known. “ Ironic” has multiple definitions and most people barely know what any of them are. The “irony” here is not self evident, unlike the fact that the line is simply well known (if it wasn’t they obviously wouldn’t have bothered going out of their way to include it). Most people are going to assume it’s a typo anyway, so why include it at all? Dronebogus ( talk) 23:22, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
