I love Pride and Prejudice, like any self-respecting teenage girl looking for a little bit of comfort in her life should. But, I only love the book and the BBC version. Don't even talk to me about the Keira Knightley film, it was all wrong, every bit of it.
The reason I love the BBC version, apart from the Mr Darcy lake scene (ok, a weensy bit freely interpreted) and the fact that the action spans over six hours, is the opening title sequence. The chirpy piano music makes me flutter inside every time I hear it, because I invariabley associate it with Colin Firth on horseback and Jennifer Ehle. It just goes to show the power of a theme tune when making a TV programme. Where would Friends be without the iconic "SO NO ONE TOLD YOU IT WAS GONNA BE THIS WAAAAAAAY"? Or the Big Bang Theory without the notoriously difficult words written specially by Barenaked Ladies? So the point is, Pride and Prejudice really would be nothing without the gorgeous piano introduction.
Listen here to see my point, and then buy the DVD here to get the whole experience!
Update will hopefully come soon, but toodlepip for now! xx
