Death comes to pemberley novel6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() But also everyone's dead excited about the big night. ![]() ![]() C'mon, of course there is – it's Mr Darcy and Lizzy Bennet's house. So everything's grand and there's a lovely atmosphere in the house. Like a modern extension built on to the big house, which recognises and respects the architecture of the original but which is not afraid to stand out and be its own very different thing as well. PD James's genre-twisting sequel – from novel of manners to murder mystery. Nor is it Pride and Prejudice though, but Death Comes To Pemberley (BBC1), Juliette Towhidi's dramatisation of PD James's P&P sequel. The lady stringing along two fellas is Georgiana Darcy, not Mary. ![]() Fitzwilliam, better known as Mr Elizabeth nee Bennet … now you know why Pemberley rings so many bells, especially for the ladies. Not Lord and Lady Crawley then, but Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy. The big house isn't Downton, but Pemberley. It's about a hundred years earlier for one thing. Hang on though, wasn't Downton yesterday? Ha, but this isn't Downton, though at first glance some of the similarities are almost uncanny. ![]()
