Watch it: Lost in Austen.

On the 4th of October at 7pm on channel ABC, a comical Jane Auten series 'Lost in Austen' will be televised. Quoted as "Delightfully witty" - The Times and "A dream of a show" - Mail on Sunday. This is a warm film which will gain laughter and enjoyment this Sunday night. Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper) is a devoted Jane Austen fan; often immersing herself into a world of dashing gents, elegant corsets and picturesque manor houses.
Unsatisfied with her life and relationship in modern day London, Amanda's ordinary existence is changed forever when she discovers Elizabeth Bennet (Gemma Arterton) alive in her bathroom and ends up replacing her in the very 'real' fictional world of Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
An all star cast brings Austen's classic characters to life in a cleverly modern context; with Hugh Bonneville as Mr Bennet and Alex Kingston as the irrepressible Mrs Bennet.
