About this listen

In this BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of one of Jane Austen's most beloved works, Mrs Bennet is determined to see her five daughters married off and secure a future for them all.

When the wealthy Mr Bingley arrives in the neighbourhood, Mrs Bennet wastes no time in making his acquaintance. His friend Mr Darcy, however, discourages Mr Bingley from marrying Jane Bennet and also appears to snub her sister Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth hears that Mr Darcy himself is of poor character, her innate prejudice of him is reinforced and she roundly refuses his unexpected proposal of marriage. But then, when she discovers that she was misinformed, Elizabeth wonders if she can ever hope to see Mr Darcy again....

Published over 200 years ago, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the British nation's favourite novels. Among the star cast in this radio production are Amanda Root, Pippa Nixon, Samantha Spiro and David Troughton.

This title is part of the BBC's Jane Austen collection.

This production was basically true to the novel, unlike some adaptations but it hit the usual problem of how to fit in all the nuances of plot and character that exist in Jane Austen's novels, in the time allowed. I gave the story 3* purely for the adaptation. The book as written by Jane Austen gets 5* every time.

Proof that dramatising a novel is dangerous!

Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful story and was so mutilated by the script writing – as to be unrecognisable. The point of the story was lost completely and reduced to some silly love story. The readers did their best, but there was no salvaging the tale.

Disappointing
