Being a big Jane Austen fan, I read the book when it first came out - good storyline but did not like P D James style, so I wasn't sure about the tv mini series especially after seeing the trailers. Darcy was not as handsome as Colin Firth or Matthew MacFaddyn and Elizabeth seemed very unsuitable. However, I watched the (recorded) 1st episode last night and loved it. Darcy and Lizzie are perfect and so are the rest of the cast. Going away for a couple of days so I'm squashing the last 2 episodes in tonight so I won't have to wait til the New Year.
Any other ABers watching it? What do you think so far?

I'm loving it and can't wait for the final episode tonight. I think the characters are well cast - Like you I was apprehensive when I saw the trailers. I love Jane Austens style and all her books, I've read them all several times over the years. PD James book is not the same style as Jane Austen but I liked the book and am loving the mini series.

What have I seen Jenna Coleman in recently?
Emma Tennant wrote Pemberley which was sort of a P&P sequel, although i haven't read it.
Dr Who Tilly? I had a feeling it might be him. Really enjoyed it.
Very impressed indeed-the early episodes were filmed at Castle Howard in Yorkshire as were many of the interiors although Chatsworth was used for some exterior shots last night.
nungate, if you search on amazon, there are quite a few.
Filming was at the NT's Chatsworth, Hardcastle Crags, Fountains Abbey, Studley Royal estate and Treasurer's House in the centre of York.
I added to this!!
I said also Harwood House

It must be exhausting being an actor and having to get to all these places.
Tilly, I don't think they have to get the bus!!
