Hear that sound, George? Duh-uh-uh-uh! That’s Jane Austen spinning in her grave like a cat in a tumble-dryer.

Somebody must’ve tripped upon and then subsequently dislodged that surprisingly heavy rock under which I’ve been living here recently, as I finally got around to watching Lost in Austen this past weekend.
Although, to be completely honest, it wasn’t entirely the rock’s fault that I wasn’t aware of how wonderfully wonderful this mini-series is…
I think that the 98% of the blame lies with that one “inspired by the characters of…” book that devoted 200 plus pages to Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth doing the deed in ways that required insane amounts of flexibility and a fairly high tolerance for pain that would slap a proud smile on even the jaded face of A.N. Roquelaure.
1% with a really busy design schedule.
And 1% with you people for not insisting that I watch it before now.
Which actually makes the rock completely blameless…
And my opening line pointless.
Shit.
