Summary

In this BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of one of Jane Austen's most beloved works, Mrs Bennet is determined to see her five daughters married off and secure a future for them all. 

When the wealthy Mr Bingley arrives in the neighbourhood, Mrs Bennet wastes no time in making his acquaintance. His friend Mr Darcy, however, discourages Mr Bingley from marrying Jane Bennet and also appears to snub her sister Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth hears that Mr Darcy himself is of poor character, her innate prejudice of him is reinforced and she roundly refuses his unexpected proposal of marriage. But then, when she discovers that she was misinformed, Elizabeth wonders if she can ever hope to see Mr Darcy again....

Published over 200 years ago, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the British nation's favourite novels. Among the star cast in this radio production are Amanda Root, Pippa Nixon, Samantha Spiro and David Troughton.

This title is part of the BBC's Jane Austen collection.

The best novel ever!

The bestest novel ever. Oh how I love Mr.Darcy. He is the best man in the entire universe of fiction. And Miss. Elizabeth, she is the most intelligent and charming female character ever. I LOVE THIS NOVEL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. And this narration was marvelously performed. I LOVED IT. 💖💘💟💞

I loved this story anyway but I specially liked that it's like a movie in the respect all charactors are voiced by different people some audio book just have one person playing all roles and that dosent make for a good audio book

Proof that dramatising a novel is dangerous!

This production was basically true to the novel, unlike some adaptations but it hit the usual problem of how to fit in all the nuances of plot and character that exist in Jane Austen's novels, in the time allowed. I gave the story 3* purely for the adaptation. The book as written by Jane Austen gets 5* every time.

Disappointing

Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful story and was so mutilated by the script writing – as to be unrecognisable. The point of the story was lost completely and reduced to some silly love story. The readers did their best, but there was no salvaging the tale.

This is an audio you really have to listen to in one sitting as its like a book you don't want to put down. The casting is well chosen and performance excellent. Only the BBC produce the best.
