Being a big Jane Austen fan, I read the book when it first came out - good storyline but did not like P D James style, so I wasn't sure about the tv mini series especially after seeing the trailers. Darcy was not as handsome as Colin Firth or Matthew MacFaddyn and Elizabeth seemed very unsuitable. However, I watched the (recorded) 1st episode last night and loved it. Darcy and Lizzie are perfect and so are the rest of the cast. Going away for a couple of days so I'm squashing the last 2 episodes in tonight so I won't have to wait til the New Year.
Any other ABers watching it? What do you think so far?

I'm loving it and can't wait for the final episode tonight. I think the characters are well cast - Like you I was apprehensive when I saw the trailers. I love Jane Austens style and all her books, I've read them all several times over the years. PD James book is not the same style as Jane Austen but I liked the book and am loving the mini series.

Emma Tennant wrote Pemberley which was sort of a P&P sequel, although i haven't read it.

Dr Who Tilly? I had a feeling it might be him. Really enjoyed it.

Very impressed indeed-the early episodes were filmed at Castle Howard in Yorkshire as were many of the interiors although Chatsworth was used for some exterior shots last night.
