[Photo caption] Back by popular demand... Susannah Harker, Jennifer Ehle and Julia Sawalha in Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice
9.05pm BBC1
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." With this famous quotation, the scene is set for Austen-mania to sweep the nation once more as the Bennet sisters do their best to please Mama and marry well.
Colin Firth, with locks dyed a smouldering black, is the perfect television Darcy, while Jennifer Ehle is the fiercely proud Elizabeth, equally as alluring in her empire-line dresses.
In the first episode Darcy puts Elizabeth's nose out of joint when he snubs her at the assembly dance, while the charming - and seriously rich - Mr Bingley (Crispin Bonham-Carter) sets all hearts, including the ambitious Mrs Bennet's (Alison Steadman), aflutter.
Find out more about the phenomenon of Pride and Prejudice on page 20.
