DC and Lisa introduce an interview with writer of The Other Bennet Sister, Sarah Quintrell.  They  discuss the show’s enthusiastic reception, including its US launch and high Rotten Tomatoes scores. Quintrell explains why Mary Bennet’s story resonates now, focusing on nuanced female and young female experiences, and recounts her own introduction to Jane Austen. She describes discovering the manuscript through producer Jane Tranter while working at Bad Wolf, her concern about being pushed to sensationalize the story, and the creative decision to shift from hour-long episodes to ten half-hour installments. She discusses bringing in Maddie Dye to write episode four, creating the character Anne Baxter to support Mary’s journey, portraying complex mother figures, and casting choices including Ella Bruccoleri as Mary, Donal Finn as Heywood, Lucy Briers as Hill, and Tanya Reynolds’ Caroline Bingley. Quintrell notes conversations about potential future stories while avoiding “cheating” the audience.
