With Lisa away casting Moulin Rouge, DC is joined by his Today Extra EP and “Austen guru” Cosi Toni to gauge their “hype meter” for 2026 Jane Austen adaptations. They discuss the BBC’s The Other Bennet Sister (aired in the UK with five episodes on iPlayer), praising the book’s slow-burn start and racing second half, its “pro-Gardiner” energy, and the casting of 1995’s Mary. They debate Netflix’s upcoming Pride and Prejudice, critiquing its teaser for echoing the 2005 “hand flex,” noting interest in Jack Lowden as Darcy and Olivia Colman, and expressing lingering disappointment from Netflix’s Persuasion. They also preview a new Sense and Sensibility with Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Fiona Shaw, and writer Diana Reid, then rank their excitement in differing orders, calling 2026 a major “Jane” year.

David and Lisa Campbell return to the podcast!  They chat about the arrival of The Other Bennet Sister, the Oscar-nominated short, Jane Austen’s Period Drama before getting to Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason - starring Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.  How does this movie stand up after 22 years and how does it stand up as an adaptation of Persuasion?!

 

NEXT WEEK!  The pair are going to start talking about The Other Bennet Sister - you can watch on BINGE in Australia and BBC One/BBC iPlayer in the UK.
