Lost in Austen: Episode 1
A thoroughly modern heroine threatens to ruin one of the world's greatest literary love stories in this ingenious reinvention of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice. Alex Kingston (ER; Croupier) stars alongside an acclaimed cast, including Hugh Bonneville (Notting Hill; Iris), Lindsay Duncan (Rome) and Gemma Arterton (Quantum Of Solace; St. Trinian's). Bored bank worker Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper - The Black Dahlia; As If; Hex) literally becomes lost in her favorite Austen book, after she finds a strange portal in her bathroom and swaps places with its heroine Elizabeth Bennet. As she gets to know the Bennet family and encounters the famous Mr Darcy (Elliot Cowan - The Golden Compass), how can she keep this celebrated romance on track?
