Japanese satellite Sky Perfect (aka ska-pa) showed again the 5-6 hours BBC drama Pride & Prejudice. I had seen in the tiny little ska-pa monthly magazine that it would be shown earlier this year, but I had forgotten to record it.
As for other shows, it was again shown in March and I finally did record it. And watch it. It was rather long, about 45 min x 6. But very enjoyable. Ah, Colin Firth ...
I watched and watched again my favorite parts, of course. And read the same favorites parts in the book.
And rented again the 2005 movie. Which of course just goes over the best parts, given the much shorter time of a movie vs a 4.5-5-hour drama.
I did even find on YouTube records of favorite parts of this and other dramas/movies. I won't be putting link, since they most probably infringe all copyrights.
Last but not least, I discovered on Amazon.com that sequels to P&P had been written. Some better than others. I bought on amazon.co.jp the paperback edition of "Mr Darcy's Diary". It was nicely written, showing Mr Darcy's perspective and struggles. Very enjoyable, really.
Another similar book that also seems interesting is "The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy", published in UK. Unfortunately, it is a little expensive (over 4000 Yen). And it is not as if one would find it in a Japanese library ...
