Yeah, Maggie, we have the Jane Eyre with Zelah Clarke and Timothy Dalton. I taped it off the air when "Masterpiece Theatre" ran it, but just recently bought the DVD version. I agree that the best version of Pride and Prejudice is the one with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, but some years back, "Masterpiece Theatre" showed a "P&P," running several weeks, with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul, that was really excellent. The Colin Firth version is on the buy list, and I would also like to get the David Rintoul version (BBC production, 1985), but it looks like I'll have to settle for VHS because it doesn't seem to be available on DVD

Barbara and I just finished watching the entire Monarch of the Glen (BBC Scotland) series from NetFlix. Seven seasons, several episodes per season. We watched it over several months. It was basically a soap, but with a good premise, interesting and attractive characters. Wonderful cast of British and Scottish actors , (for openers, Richard Briars as the flakey Hector; and Susan Hampshire as Molly has a smile that could melt glaciers). But the real star of the show was the the setting.

Almost made me want to go out and poach a deer.

Hmm. How big a pan would you need if you were going to poach a deer?
