Yes, and there is an earlier yet BBC adaptation too!! With some classy theatre actor named David Rintoul, who is the Darcy I fell in love with and damnit no one online seems to have seen this version ever. I mean, yay Colin Firth, no problem there, but you should SEE this other guy's cheekbones...

This! The David Rintoul/Elizabeth Garvie P&P is the definitive version for me. I find it warm and witty and charming and although no one is perfect, no one is hateful (okay, Wickham is a bit hateful). Lydia, Mrs Bennett and Lady Catherine are hysterical and Mr Bennett is just the right balance of rueful, lazy and irresponsible. Even Jane (quite the most insufferably perfect girl in all of literature) is likeable. Sadly AFAIK, this isn't available on DVD though I have a much treasured copy on video tape.

The BBC P&P with Firth/Ehle that everyone raves about leaves me cold; I disliked everyone in it, from start to finish. Considering I love the book, that takes some doing. Darcy is a dolt who just seems to chew his own teeth most of the time and as for Elizabeth - little more than a petulant shrew, pert and underbred and with an astonishing degree of unjustified self consequence.

I have seen the Keira Knightley movie and much to surprise I did not actively hate it. KK was flat and stale but the supporting cast were very good value and it had wonderful production values, music, costumes, etc.

But totally agreed: the Rintoul/Garvie P&P is the one for me.
