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.
