Great actors. There is a small problem with the soundtrack of the music. It is wavering and needs to be replaced or removed. The choice of music was fine. Perhaps the music background could be shorter as it precedes each chapter.

Wrong data?


I actually originally uploaded this data after connecting up the 12 parts to a 12 part series from the 50s using BBC Genome. https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?q=pride+and+prejudice&after=1949-01-01T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&before=1951-12-31T23 If that’s wrong, I apologize and would be happy to re-upload with the correct info. My original post was deleted, and I have no idea why. I don’t have an ERA account to verify, but the 1975 version can be found here: https://era.org.uk/lit-resource/pride-and-prejudice-1975-episode-1/ If someone can verify they’re the same, please reply confirming!
